re: Just watching the game, the Honey Badger was owned

owned? that's cheap. We held your offense in check, but your QB was making unbelievable passes. NO ONE could have defensed most of those passes.

Matheiu's aura/legend is that he's always making the big play- strip, PR, pick etc. Look at his career stats after 2 years. He's not a dominating physical presence.

He did make a couple of solid tackles on TR and Lacy one on one at the line, and he was in good position in tight coverage on a lot of completions. That's what he was asked to do, so he wasn't "owned". He just didn't get a strip-n-score.

It's like saying Trent was owned because he wasn't ripping off yards all night long.
