Malcolm Butler!!!!

[FourierSeries]

That was one of the most clutch plays ever in a SB. Let that sink in.

I've liked this guy since training camp.

Eric Davis rightly points out that catch would never happen before the new protection to receiver rules. That being said, could Harmon have tried to pick off the ball or was it happening too fast?

Probably too fast I also think they probably thought it hit the ground like about 98% of the people watching in live action.

On that play, the unsung hero was Browner and his vicious jam.

Yup. He totally destroyed the pick play and freed Butler to go for the INT.

Butler moved that guy right of the way to grab that ball.

But, but....the Seahawks are more physical! How can this be?

The end zone angle shows just how fast he jumped that route, incredible play.
Props to Brady for giving Him the truck

A Shame he's not from Seattle. What a parade that would be.

I'm so proud and happy for Malcolm. People pay more attention to the play call than the play. It is understandable but it was a fantastic iconic play by the kid.

That play is forever etched in my memory. IMO the most clutch play in Super Bowl history. Probably one of the top 5 most important plays in NFL history. Unbelievable.

ps. Props to Browner. Wouldn't have happened w/o him. Remember the people who worried he'd commit a crushing penalty at some point? Quite the opposite.
