New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler was pulled away from a post-game interview by Robert Kraft for a quick congratulatory kiss on the cheek after the Patriots' 28-24 Super Bowl XLIX win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Butler, a rookie, had one of the game's biggest plays when he picked off Russell Wilson with the Seahawks a yard away from the end zone. The interception was the first of Butler's career.

The Patriots took over at their 1-yard line, and a Seahawks encroachment penalty moved the ball up five yards. After Brady took a knee, a fight broke out, which moved the ball to the Patriots' 20. Brady took another knee to secure the win.
