There will never be a more jump-out-of-my-seat-yelling, 100% probability swing, long-term-legacy-impact than the Butler interception. For a single play, nothing compares, and I can't imagine anything will ever compare to it. The legacy of the team, the coach, and the QB are inextricably tied to that one play.
The Immaculate Reception is the only thing close in terms of the emotional swing and how it shaped the legacy of the team. And that play was a fluke, which only got the Steelers to the next round of the playoffs.
The fact that Butler's play is not the clear #1 in NFL history is largely tied to the fact that the Patriots were the beneficiaries. IMHO, of course
Agree on all points!
