Tyrann Mathieu could earn PETA $100k if he gets an INT in Super Bowl 55

If dog-lover and Kansas City Chiefs DB Tyrann Mathieu catches an interception in the Super Bowl, an anonymous fan will donate $100,000 to PETA.

Tyrann Mathieu has been an active supporter of PETA over the years. Now an anonymous fan is backing him to make a huge play in the Super Bowl.

According to TMZ, all Mathieu has to do is intercept Tom Brady on Sunday. If he does that, PETA’s fieldwork team will receive a $100,000 donation.

That’s $100k that would go towards “free food deliveries, custom-built doghouses and straw bedding, plus flea, tick and fly-strike prevention” in Virginia and North Carolina.

Tyrann Mathieu has starred in PETA videos, and now he’s the key to a huge donation

More than five years ago, Mathieu made his first appearance in a PETA PSA urging people not to leave their dogs in a hot car. The defensive back subjected himself to eight minutes in a hot car to prove the point.

In 2019, he appeared in another PETA video. This one involved him staying inside a freezer to show what it’s like for dogs left out in the cold.

So how likely is Mathieu to pull off a Super Bowl interception? It’s certainly within the realm of possibility.

The last time the Chiefs met the Bucs, Mathieu had a 22-yard interception in a victory. He totaled six interceptions this season, which was third in the league.

Tom Brady threw three interceptions in Tampa’s NFC Championship victory over the Packers. That should add some hope to animal lovers (and Chiefs fans).

The Arizona Cardinals picked Mathieu in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He spent five seasons with them before spending a year in Houston. He joined the Chiefs in 2019 and has thrived. He added to his 2015 All-Pro selection with nods in 2019 and 2020.
