Arizona Cardinals: Tyrann Mathieu, the comeback kid?

Could Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu contend for the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award?

In a prime time Sunday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Arizona Cardinals were on their way to victory. Running back David Johnson led the Cardinals to the NFC West crown with 187 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns.

However, the Cardinals came away with more than just a hat and a t-shirt. With less than 3 minutes to go in the game, safety Tyrann Mathieu picked off Eagles’ Sam Bradford and landed awkwardly on his right knee and collapsed to the ground.
