Watch: Tyrann Mathieu intercepts Vikings QB Kirk Cousins for his first pick with the Saints

Little was going right for the New Orleans Saints against the Minnesota Vikings in the first quarter of Sunday’s game, but Tyrann Mathieu stepped in to give his tea a lift.

Mathieu intercepted Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins on the final play of the first quarter, giving the Saints a badly needed boost of momentum in London.

The Vikings were leading 7-0 when Mathieu stepped in front of a Cousins pass.

The Saints sideline was amped up following the turnover with linebacker Demario Davis following Mathieu down the sideline to celebrate the play with the LSU legend.

The Saints converted the Mathieu interception into an Andy Dalton touchdown pass to Chris Olave to tie the game at 7-7 in the second quarter.
