Brady targeted Mathieu several times in coverage. He appeared to have intercepted the 43-year-old before it was overturned due to a penalty. Mathieu was also covering Antonio Brown on his one-yard touchdown before halftime. 

Mathieu and the Chiefs were unable to stop Brady in his pursuit of a seventh title, falling 31-9 in the big game. The former New England Patriot completed 21-of-29 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns.
