New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler didn’t play a defensive snap in the Super Bowl.
After the game, Butler said he wasn’t sure why he was benched, saying the team “gave up” on him.
Butler said he could have changed the game if he had played, and he may have a point, as the Patriots gave up 41 points to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Bill Belichick said the benching was not disciplinary.

In 2014, Malcolm Butler made the Super Bowl-winning interception on Russell Wilson to help the New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks.

On Sunday, in Super Bowl 52, Butler didn’t play a single defensive snap against the Philadelphia Eagles.
