COMMENTARY
Can we stop?
The notion that Bill Belichick’s decision to bench Malcolm Butler in Super Bowl LII was a prescient move based on how badly the Tennessee Titans cornerback has struggled this season is a ridiculous leap for every “Do Your Job” apologist. We’re supposed to now settle the biggest mystery in New England sports history this side of Craig Grebeck’s vanishing act with the elementary conclusion that, “Oh…Bill knew?”
The former Patriots Super Bowl hero has been a disaster with the Titans, having allowed the most receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns by any cornerback in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus.
