Cornerback Eric Rowe played in just eight games during the season, and he took more than 53 percent of the snaps just three times. Bademosi went from getting zero snaps in the AFC title game to getting 11 snaps in the Super Bowl he, too, could not perform. Meanwhile, Jordan Richards went from getting six snaps in the AFC title game to getting 16 snaps in the Super Bowl he was exposed badly. Kicker Stephen Gostkowski actually recorded more tackles than Butler. He played defense as much as Tom Brady and Rob Gronowski did. Then in the Super Bowl, he took zero defensive snaps. In the conference championship against Jacksonville, he was one of four players to take 100 percent of the defensive snaps. In the divisional round against Tennessee, he was one of three players to take 100 percent of the snaps.

He played a full 100 percent of the snaps in 11 games, and the only game in which he took less than 96 percent of the snaps came in Week 2’s win in New Orleans. He took the most defensive snaps in the regular season, as he was on the field for 97.83 percent of the team’s defensive snaps. That being said, at no point from Week 1 through the AFC title game did Belichick, Matt Patricia or anybody on the Patriots’ coaching staff decide to treat Butler any differently than they did in the previous two seasons.

He’s not thought of as a stat monster like Manning and Brees, but Brady’s individual statistics are nothing to overlook, including the fact that he’s thrown for at least 3,500 yards in every full season he’s played since 2002. 732 winning percentage in them is also staggering.
