Malcolm Butler Still Wants To Ask Belichick Why He Was Benched For Super Bowl

I realize that this topic is not related directly to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it does tie into not only the most recent NFL game played, but also the biggest from the past season. And it involves the team we all love to hate, the New England Patriots.

You probably recall that Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick made the decision before this past season’s Super Bowl to bench starting cornerback Malcolm Butler, instead favoring Eric Rowe. It ended up being the second-highest-scoring Super Bowl in NFL history with the most yardage in any NFL game ever.
