The Patriots’ Malcolm Butler made the play of his life to seal the Super Bowl win for New England

Well Super Bowl 49 certainly had an ending that will be talked about for years to come, and it was all thanks toe Malcolm Butler, who made the absolute best play that he has ever made in his football life.

The Seahawks had the chance to win the game late in the fourth quarter; all they had to do was hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch on the 1-yard line and the win was probably theirs.

Well, instead of going with their beast of a back, Pete Carroll decided to have Russell Wilson toss the slant, and Butler was there for the historical interception.


Putting aside that the play call was one of the worst in history, that was an amazing grab by Butler, and it goes without saying he will never, ever forget this moment.
