That statement itself is arguably why that game was the most impressive out of all the Super Bowl wins. We all know 28-3 is unprecedented, but when the Pats were able to get it down to 20-28 and they got the ball back you knew Brady was going to lead them down and score. Only question was do they get the 2 pt. conversion. You knew if they won the coin toss in OT it was over. That was a slow death by Atlanta. Seattle has the ball on the half yard line the half yard line with Lynch in the backfield. That literally was going from Death Row to the Playboy Mansion and the 🐐’s reaction on the sideline told you everything you needed to know about that play and that win. That was against the Defending Champs and the swagger of the LOB this past generations greatest D. It was a play for the ages and no bigger interception in NFL history let alone Super Bowl history. That one play took away the crown from what was going to be back to back Champions and what was supposed to be the NFL’s next Dynasty and instead crowned once again the other dynasty....The greatest Dynasty in NFL History!
This play is the epitome of preparation, execution and teamwork. Film study shows that play is a Seahawks favorite at the goal line. Malcolm gets burned on that play in practice; runs the play multiple times. Belichick decides not to call a timeout when he sees the Seahawks a bit disorganized and their personnel. The Pats run out goal line defense with 3 defensive backs, a personnel grouping they had never used all season, not once; every Pats fan gets chills now hearing the coach call "Malcolm, go!" to send him on the field. Brandon Browner helps Malcolm line up and identifies the play even faster than Malcolm does, jamming his receiver before he can even get a step off the line, destroying the designed pick of the Hawks play. And then Malcolm breaks on that ball so hard, he blows up the receiver as the ball arrives; no idea how he held onto the ball through that much contact. That play is the epitome of everything the Patriots are about.
defense stopped them on 3rd down twice call was correct but because dum dum carroll use that timeout earlier which forced a pass. correct call here but if timeout was not used earlier hawks can run twice which equals win
I think running it in practice and failing taught Butler he needed to be closer to the line and to break on the ball harder and faster. So in essence he finally got it right in the Super Bowl. And credit Browner for understanding his role in jamming the pick. It was an incredible instinctive play by Butler to make the catch and hang on. One of the defensive coaches commented after watching the highlight reel that he couldn’t take any credit for the play. He stated it was simply an amazing play by Malcolm Butler.
I remember me telling my family “we need a miracle“ as they lined up at the 1 yard line. Then it happened and we all screamed. The first time I almost cried at a sports game. That moment was so unreal.
We watched in a pub and we just exploded in shouts and screams while the dudes at the next table, all Seahawks fans, sat in stunned silence with that Pete Carroll face. I still feel sorry for them sometimes. That Seahawks team was a great one, too.
The way Belichick made the half-time adjustment and the last play he called on the goal line and not taking a time out to reverse put the pressure on Coach Carrol, is next level genius.
By foregoing a TO, Belichik got into Pete Carrol's head at the crucial moment. Did Carrol change the play because of that, and do exactly as Belichick expected. Inquiring minds want to know.
Such a great play that people don’t even talk about the one before where Hightower throws a guy off him and shoulder checks Marshawn Lynch (with a destroyed shoulder mind you). That really goes to show how impressive the play right after was
What Hightower actually did was more remarkable than most realize. It ranks as one of great defensive plays in SB history in its own right. If his reaction to the left tackle coming at him had been the normal reaction, Lynch walks into the end zone. What he did instead was step TOWARDS the LOS, causing the tackle to whiff on him. Then he cut to the sideline and dove at Lynch's feet, catching Lynch by surprise.
This play legitimately destroyed the Seahawks as a championship team from that point on. Not a Seahawks fan but goddamn that's still a painful moment to watch. That's also a lesson in not getting cute with simple things.
I think it's a lesson in being too easy to read. It was a good play the other 60+ times, the thing is you can't do the same thing 60+ times or people will know it's coming.
Agreed. Something about this play shook the Seahawks to their core and messed them up psychologically and as a team. They really haven't been the same since. Also there was a theory that stated that the organization wanted the super bowl MVP to go to RW#3 instead of M. Lynch #24 RB. idk if we will ever know if that conspiracy theory is true. same with the M. Butler benching In SB 52. Forever grateful for the '15 broncos and '17 eagles for preventing a three-peat for the Pat's. All that said, I'm in agreement with Cris Collinsworth on the play call, "If Marshawn Lynch can't run it in from the 1, so be it, SO BE IT. I just cannot believe the call." Now granted, I didn't know much about football when XLIX was played in February 2015, I only started watching NFL football beginning in the 2015 season. So I didn't know why the person I was watching XLIX with (who was a raiders fan lol) suddenly made a "ohhhh" vocal noise and smiled. I still don't know much about the intricacies of gridiron football but I have learned more about the rules ever since. be it they keep changing, RIP jumping the line to block a field goal attempt. Also, Fwiw Mike Holgren who coached the 'Hawks to SBXL during the 2005 season said he would have ran QB sneak.
What really makes the play resonate so hard is how it changed the futures of both franchises. The Pats would go to 3 more superbowls and win 2, and the Seahawks haven't even been back to a championship game. If the seahawks won 3 more Superbowls it wouldn't be as important, but this played forever destroyed them, and brought the Patriots back to how they were a decade before.
This is my dispute with a lot of Patrick Mahomes and Ceif fans right now. If Mahomes was a few years older he would have went the way of Peyton Manning, Ben Rothlesberger, Matty Ice, Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, and the Panthers QB back in the day. His career would have been destroyed, just like the list I just mentioned.
They havent reached the nfc championship ever since 3 and 4 in the playoffs ever since, choke to the cowboys and packers, and they cant win a damn divisional game
If Malcolm Butler hadn't been eaten on that same route in practice, it would have been a TD. Lockette was open by 2-3 yards, and had the angle. It's like something clicked inside Butler's head and he came out of nowhere to pick that ball off. As a Hawks fan, my heart sunk on that play. I don't blame Carrol, Rus, or Lockette. The only explanation is "The Butler done it."
Actually you should blame Wilson, Carrol called a passing play seeing the patriots commit for the run but then they switched last minute to commit to the pass by putting in butler meaning Wilson should have audibled to a running play but stuck with the passing play.
Good man. I respect fans that can be reasonable even on touchy subjects. You'd never get me to admit the giants beat us fair and square in 2007 though. Blown calls, and that lucky ass bullshit helmet catch. Rot in hell David Tyree
I remember this like it was yesterday, me and two of my friends watching it in my basement, thinking we ad lost, then the interception happened, and we started screaming and jumping on top of each other, one of the greatest moments of my life.
Very much so..I'm a die-hard Patriot fan..every since I watched Tom Brady play college ball. Tom Brady doesn't know it but he was adopted into my Crow Tribal Clan!!
I would never forget that day I was actually handing 300 Over to my friend thinking it was over Then the interception happened he didn't want to give my money till After the review I left with 600,thanks pats
What was also amazing is that Butler was on the one when he caught it. Then bumped back inside the end zone. Quickly comprehended that fact and ran to the 2.
not Pete Carolls fault, not Russell Wilson's fault, but Ricardo Lockettes fault, no matter how badly the ball is thrown, you have try your hardest to catch, he was really soft on that play, just let Butler push right past him...
if the ball was thrown where it was supposed to be, the pass would be caught by lockette or incomplete. I think wilson deserves at least half the blame
Kyle Simber Nope... you could see Lockette had no idea he was there and was caught off guard. He thought he had an easy TD like many would. Like everyone says, it is on Pete Carroll for not running it
And the throw wasn't bad. That is how you're supposed to throw it. You slightly lead the receiver. He just didn't see Malcolm Butler. Had he recognized that, he would have thrown it away, threw it to someone else or ran it and Seahawks would probably be champs
Its not about leading the passer that makes it bad, wilson threw it too high. If it were into his chest like its supposed to be, it is a touchdown or incomplete.
This was simply great play recognition. If both Browner & Butler didn't recognize what play was called, then that would have been a seahawks touchdown because seattle had ran that play a lot during that season. This is where film study and practicing against that formation and play pays off.
@@starmaster191 It still wasn’t the right option though. After Super Bowl 2022 some say passing on the one yard line is a good thing: The difference though is that for The Rams, Cooper was the best option so it was the right call. The best option for the Seahawks was Lynch, so it was a bad call.
@@rydermccall3590 In 2014 Lynch was 1 of 5 from 1 and goal and they also has no good personal for run play. If the run will not be successful they will have to use timeout. Buttler's interception was the only interception of 109 pass from one yard.
This was an emotional turn of events. I was at my cleaning job and checking my phone every couple minutes. I was resigned to the fact the Pats were about to lose. I couldn’t believe my eyes when this happened. Had to convince myself it wasn’t a dream.
History and karma are important here. Two superbowls with crazy NY Giants catches that denied the pats preceed this interception. And then, during the 2014 superbowl, it looks like that would happen a third time with the Kearse catch. That whole history, plus the exceptional situational play by butler, make this the best play of all time. Period.
Great play by Malcolm. He wouldn't have made it if not for his humble, hard working, Feisty, and never give up attitude. He took this INT and used it as motivation to not let it define him as a one year wonder. Now he is one of the best corners in the league. Hope the pats extend him because he's been one of our best defenders on the team and really brings that competitive fire for our defense.
This one was particularly glorious because it shut the mouths on thousands of fairweather Seahawk fans. The city was like a cemetery the next day. Glorious.
Red right 88 or the rocket screen in Super Bowl XVIII should've been somewhere on the list Edit: Karlos Dansby pick on Aaron Rodgers in the 2009 NFL Wild Card. (I think it was ruled a fumble tho)
When ever Malcolm intercepted it and it cuts to Brady jumping and cheering I always just stare at Jimmy G because he's doing the same thing and literally contributed nothing. He's like the 3rd person in the group project who didn't do anything but still gets an A.
BurtsGamingHub In the game he did literally nothing. I'm sure he serves a purpose in the training days but I mean he wasn't any big reason we won the Super Bowl that year. I like Jimmy G by the way. I hope we don't end up trading him at the end of the season because I don't think Jacoby Brissett is good enough to carry Tom's torch. Nobody is but when Jimmy played this year his mechanics were extremely similar to Tom so I hope he stays.
Frank Wizard I thought I was seeing things when I spotted similarities between Tom's and Jimmy's mechanics. I hope he stays because I don't see Tom playing more than two seasons, maybe three from now.
Joseph Song Ok... The practice for that game didn't get us to the Super Bowl. Jimmy played little to no snaps that year in the regular season and post season so if he helped the defense prepare for Russell Wilson that's great but he was jumping like he won critical games or he was the reason we won the Super Bowl by throwing 4 TD's in the game. If you think that small part of training constitutes that type of celebration you have low standards. I like Jimmy G and I hope we don't get rid of him this offseason but he didn't do anything that year other than practice that meant anything.
Unknown fact about this play...matt Hasselbeck secretly was sent in from the sideline to the huddle and said "We're gonna pass it and we're gonna win!"
You guys fucking deserved it for that stupid pass kearse caught like 2 plays before. and the patriots deserved there own lucky play, before that play, the patriots had 3 unbelievably stupid fucking lucky plays that end would end each game happen to them(tyree,wes welker drop/manningham, kearse) it was time they had something lucky for once
Edelman claims they practiced this most of the season and got scored on every time in practice. Comes up in the SB and you see a legend of a moment. You can see the shock in Butler's body reaction as well. Funny enough, a pass is the right play here since you still have another down at least, but a TE fade to the corner was the right call, not this.
Unsung hero.. Brandon browner.. Former seahawk.. Read the formation.. Got butler in position to get the interception.. Plus he jammed the hell out of kearse to prevent kearse from running that pick route
If it makes you feel better Seahawks fans, I am from an alternate universe where Lynch ran it twice and get stopped. Then everyone was asking why they did not throw the football as the Pats were stacking the line. Sometimes, just not meant to be...
@@mortensen1961 I'm laying back on the couch,my roommate came in & I have tears streaming down my face.He thought someone died.LOL.There have been a few moments in sports that were just unbelievable,that was up there.
Championships are in plays like that. The Patriots practiced against this play during Super Bowl week. How do you know when I come up? That old saying: it’s best to be prepared for a situation and not have it and have a situation and not be prepared. The Patriots were prepared and they won a Championship because of it.
On the one hand, Carroll calls the pass and it’s caught, not running it w/Marshawn, nobody expects it and it’s the greatest playcall of his career. On the other, he calls it, it gets picked, and everyone calls it the worst playcall of his career. Crazy how different a fraction of a second makes in history.
While some label it as the “worst call in Super Bowl history”, the fact of the matter is as what Benoit said the same play never faulted, and nfl fans know how difficult it would be for the defense to intercept a short pass without knowing what the play was
Everyone wants to critique that it was a bad play call but even players themselves say that play is almost a guaranteed touchdown its just malcolm butler read it right and intercepted it
I'd rather hear from NFL players, former players, coaches, executives, analysts, historians.... not random ass celebrities talking about how they felt when it happened. I already KNOW how it felt to watch it
This play ended the game, but Harrison's, it was still another half of football left. Steelers had a better play, but this was more significant. And plus, people forget that if he didn't pick this off, they certainly would've ran it the next play and scored, game over. He HAD to pick it on that exact play.
"Pats fans went from Death Row to the Playboy Mansion" EXACTLY lol.
That statement itself is arguably why that game was the most impressive out of all the Super Bowl wins.

He took this INT and used it as motivation to not let it define him as a one year wonder. Now he is one of the best corners in the league. Hope the pats extend him because he's been one of our best defenders on the team and really brings that competitive fire for our defense.
By far the play of the game!
This one was particularly glorious because it shut the mouths on thousands of fairweather Seahawk fans. The city was like a cemetery the next day. Glorious.
Because no other fanbase has fair weather fans. @.@
@@andersonsmith979 Never said they didn't. But this video features Seattle Seahawks, and I live in Seattle. Hope that makes it clearer for you.
I remember telling everyone before the interception that this isn’t over yet, and not 100 percent believing it myself.
Best play i ever saw
Obviously a huge play in the Super Bowl, but James Harrison's interception and return should be #1.
I'm a seahawks fan and I'm still not over this play.
Never seen a QB get LESS blame for throwing a SB losing pick than Wilson. .
Yea we are never gonna let Pete carrol and the Seahawks forget that they should *ran the god damn ball*
Red right 88 or the rocket screen in Super Bowl XVIII should've been somewhere on the list
Edit: Karlos Dansby pick on Aaron Rodgers in the 2009 NFL Wild Card. (I think it was ruled a fumble tho)
James Burgess it was a fumble
Probably the #1 greatest play in Super Bowl history
When ever Malcolm intercepted it and it cuts to Brady jumping and cheering I always just stare at Jimmy G because he's doing the same thing and literally contributed nothing. He's like the 3rd person in the group project who didn't do anything but still gets an A.
Frank Wizard Jimmy G actually helped the defense prepare for a more mobile quarterback.
BurtsGamingHub In the game he did literally nothing. I'm sure he serves a purpose in the training days but I mean he wasn't any big reason we won the Super Bowl that year. I like Jimmy G by the way. I hope we don't end up trading him at the end of the season because I don't think Jacoby Brissett is good enough to carry Tom's torch. Nobody is but when Jimmy played this year his mechanics were extremely similar to Tom so I hope he stays.
Frank Wizard I thought I was seeing things when I spotted similarities between Tom's and Jimmy's mechanics. I hope he stays because I don't see Tom playing more than two seasons, maybe three from now.
Joseph Song Ok... The practice for that game didn't get us to the Super Bowl. Jimmy played little to no snaps that year in the regular season and post season so if he helped the defense prepare for Russell Wilson that's great but he was jumping like he won critical games or he was the reason we won the Super Bowl by throwing 4 TD's in the game. If you think that small part of training constitutes that type of celebration you have low standards. I like Jimmy G and I hope we don't get rid of him this offseason but he didn't do anything that year other than practice that meant anything.
Games are won in practice though. If Malcom didn't practice it then Superbowl 49 would have gone to the seahawks.
Unknown fact about this play...matt Hasselbeck secretly was sent in from the sideline to the huddle and said "We're gonna pass it and we're gonna win!"
Malcolm Butler saved Brady's legacy.
This was the best play on NFL history.
this still breaks my heart as a Seahawks fan
Gavin Beard imma Giants fan and this just angers me...
Now you know how we feel about the helmet catch
Exactly.
You guys fucking deserved it for that stupid pass kearse caught like 2 plays before. and the patriots deserved there own lucky play, before that play, the patriots had 3 unbelievably stupid fucking lucky plays that end would end each game happen to them(tyree,wes welker drop/manningham, kearse) it was time they had something lucky for once
john john butler's play wasn't luck though?
Edelman claims they practiced this most of the season and got scored on every time in practice. Comes up in the SB and you see a legend of a moment. You can see the shock in Butler's body reaction as well. Funny enough, a pass is the right play here since you still have another down at least, but a TE fade to the corner was the right call, not this.
They spelled Malcolm's name wrong in the top left corner.
People fail to realize that jam browner did on Kearse helped Butler on that play 3:27
Unsung hero.. Brandon browner.. Former seahawk.. Read the formation.. Got butler in position to get the interception.. Plus he jammed the hell out of kearse to prevent kearse from running that pick route
That & high tower play.Unbeleivable stuff.
Lynch: don't give me the ball!? I'll go to Oakland.
If it makes you feel better Seahawks fans, I am from an alternate universe where Lynch ran it twice and get stopped. Then everyone was asking why they did not throw the football as the Pats were stacking the line. Sometimes, just not meant to be...
Malcolm Butler's play is right up there with Orr ('70), Bird ('81) and Papi ('04)
Gibson ('88). . . .
@@mortensen1961 omg I did shed a tear that night.Spectacular..sports can be great.
@@richardmorris7063: Yeah, I watched it that night on TV. . . .damned near blew the windows out screaming when he hit it. .
@@mortensen1961 I'm laying back on the couch,my roommate came in & I have tears streaming down my face.He thought someone died.LOL.There have been a few moments in sports that were just unbelievable,that was up there.
"Malcolm Butler's amazing pick-6"
It wasn't a pick 6...
It was the Seattle Seahawks made the Worst Play in NFL history.
So can we say The Butler Did it?
Championships are in plays like that.
The Patriots practiced against this play during Super Bowl week.
How do you know when I come up? That old saying: it’s best to be prepared for a situation and not have it and have a situation and not be prepared.
The Patriots were prepared and they won a Championship because of it.
On the one hand, Carroll calls the pass and it’s caught, not running it w/Marshawn, nobody expects it and it’s the greatest playcall of his career. On the other, he calls it, it gets picked, and everyone calls it the worst playcall of his career. Crazy how different a fraction of a second makes in history.
En la parte de Malcom Go! se habrá imaginado lo que le esperaba el destino???
5-0 in 2020 and even if we do win a Super Bowl this year ill NEVER forget we could've been 3 time Super Bowl champs.
One of the top 6 SB’s ever
While some label it as the “worst call in Super Bowl history”, the fact of the matter is as what Benoit said the same play never faulted, and nfl fans know how difficult it would be for the defense to intercept a short pass without knowing what the play was
Malcolm Butler is a Superbowl Hero. He snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Best play of all times.
NICK STEVENS YES I LOVE YOU
Jake Lawrence FITZY! lol
I LOVE IT!
Everyone wants to critique that it was a bad play call but even players themselves say that play is almost a guaranteed touchdown its just malcolm butler read it right and intercepted it
fitzys name is nick stevens lmao
UNREAL!!!!!
Dont’a Hightower tripped up Lynch at the 1.
Single handedly killed what would've been a dynasty.
I'd rather hear from NFL players, former players, coaches, executives, analysts, historians.... not random ass celebrities talking about how they felt when it happened. I already KNOW how it felt to watch it
Best football game I’ve ever seen
Crazy
From death row to the playboy mansion...that describes it perfectly. Worst feeling ever to the best
This play ended the game, but Harrison's, it was still another half of football left. Steelers had a better play, but this was more significant.
And plus, people forget that if he didn't pick this off, they certainly would've ran it the next play and scored, game over. He HAD to pick it on that exact play.
James Burgess Thank you.!
James Burgess I agree. But if Harrison didn't score they wouldn't have wob
Jeremiah Salvador Juarez we don’t know that. There was still a whole half of football to play
for all u saying it was a bad call, they ran this same play over and over in practice and butler never stopped it !! This was a miracle !!
I guess practice makes perfect!
MALCOME BUTLIER MADE IT BECAUSE HE WATCHES FILM
all i can say about this helluva play is... POOR JIMMY GAROPPOLO. He just wanted to celebrate with brady
Probably b the only ring he'll ever get too.
This is the darkest 1 yard in my life. Where I started to drink.
Does anyone else notice that when Donte Hightower is “helping” Butler out of the end zone he nearly strips the ball out of his hands? 😬
He wasn't helping him out of the endzone, he was trying to push him down (because you don't want to fumble the ball, just get down).
@@MYFAVORITES5 Doesn’t change the fact that he very nearly knocked the ball out of his hands.
Malcolm Butler, in my opinion, was the hero of the Super Bowl. He directed the defense to the right position.
Why is Kevin from The Office in there?
That was the beginning of the end for Russell Wilson
Browner needs to get credit for jamming the pick receiver
they had beast mode, they could've done a QB sneak, could've passed to lynch, or to a different reciever
And that’s why Malcolm Butler got a free truck from Tom Brady.
“When you throw a pass three things can happen to it, and two of them are bad.”
