In the wake of last night’s Super Bowl loss, Patriots fans are wondering what happened to star cornerback Malcolm Butler. Despite playing almost every defensive snap of the regular season, Butler saw zero time on the field last night. And in a night when the Patriots’ defense couldn’t quite handle the explosive offense of the Philadelphia Eagles, the absence of a key defensive player could have had huge implications.

Where Is Malcolm Butler?

After the team’s 41-33 loss last night, Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick was asked why Butler did not play. Belichick’s answer was incredibly vague.

“I appreciate the question, but it would be a much longer discussion,” he said. “There are a lot of things that go into that. In the end, the final decision is what I said it was.”

Not surprisingly, that answer hasn’t satisfied many Pats fans. In fact, Belichick’s seeming refusal to reveal what really happened has raised even more questions.

But now, breaking reports indicate that Butler may have been benched because he was caught with weed. Earlier today, sources said that Butler missed a team curfew in the days leading up to the Super Bowl.

On top of that, he was allegedly caught with weed. With this news now surfacing, many are speculating that Belichick benched the cornerback as a disciplinary action for possessing weed.

So far, neither Belichick nor Butler have denied or confirmed the reports. But one thing’s for sure: Butler is clearly not happy about how things transpired.

“They gave up on me,” Butler said after the game. “Fuck. It is what it is.”

He also said that he “could have changed that game” by adding more strength to the Patriots’ defense as the team struggled to contain the Eagles’ offense.
