Former New England Patriots Star Falls
Malcolm Butler was a Super Bowl hero when he intercepted Russell Wilson to seal the game in Super Bowl 49.
The Seahawks trailed the Patriots, 28-24, with 26 seconds left but had the ball on a second-and-goal from the New England 1. Out of the shotgun, Seattle’s quarterback, Russell Wilson, took the snap and zipped a quick slant to wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, who initially looked open.
Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler, though, an undrafted rookie out of West Alabama, read the play and reached Lockette at the same time as the ball. With lightning-quick reflexes, Butler caught the ball at the goal line for an interception and went down with it to clinch the Super Bowl for the Patriots, their fourth title in franchise history.
