By now you’ve probably watched the clip of Malcolm Butler picking off Russell Wilson to seal the Super Bowl for the Patriots. No matter what you think of the call by Seahawks coach Pete Carroll to throw the ball in that spot, it’s an incredible play.

The angle below, shot by someone on the sidelines right next to the end zone, shows just how far Butler (No. 21 at the left of your screen) has to come to make the play. Look at the anticipation. Dude knows exactly what play is coming and gets to the spot faster than seems possible.
