Malcolm Butler officially hangs up the cleats. Thanks for Superbowl 49...greatest interception of all time.
Will also never forget how big-ego Belichick put you in the doghouse in Superbowl 52, which costed the Patriots the Superbowl. Had you been able to play a few defensive snaps that game over Jordan Richards, we win that game and riding on a 3peat.
Is this really news? He hasn't played since 2000.
I will never understand the Malcolm Butler worship, especially when it comes to his Superbowl benching. You would think he was the second coming of Derrell Revis. It's very simple...the Patriots lost that Superbowl because Brady couldn't lead the offense to touchdowns in the first half, and had to settle for field goals. The team had to play catch up the whole second half.
BTW, Malcolm Butler only played 3 more seasons after the "benching". Meanwhile, Nick Foles was and remained to be a journeyman quarterback.
More like they lost the Superbowl because the defense allowed 41 unacceptable points-- mainly, to blame, coaching.
Perhaps, but they were also winning with just under 2 minutes, 30 seconds left in the game. And then had the ball down 5 before Brady was sacked and fumbled. And then had the ball again down 8 with just over a minute left and then ran out of time before they could score the TD. One of the few big games where Brady just didn't have it in the clutch.
