Upon Further Review, Chevrolet Awards Super Bowl MVP Colorado to Malcolm Butler

DETROIT -- February 11, 2015: After consulting Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady, Chevrolet presented an all-new Colorado pickup to New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler, whose end zone interception preserved the Patriots’ victory in Super Bowl XLIX.

The Colorado was intended to be awarded to Brady, the Patriots’ quarterback, in recognition of his Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award. However, Brady and Chevrolet huddled on Monday and Chevrolet determined Butler deserved recognition for his game-saving interception.

“I’ve seen several game-changing moments in big games, and Malcom’s interception last Sunday ranks up there as one of the biggest,” said Brady. “I appreciate Chevrolet wanting to honor the Super Bowl’s top performer, and I’m glad they have agreed to award the Colorado to Malcolm.”

Said Butler: “I am ecstatic that Chevrolet has chosen to reward me with a Colorado. It is just another unreal event in what has been an incredible week.”

The Chevrolet Colorado, 2015 Motor Trend Truck of the YearŽ, was engineered to be the most capable, most versatile and most technologically advanced midsize truck in the market. With class-leading horsepower and fuel economy along with a 4G LTE built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, the Colorado adds a new dimension to the Chevy truck line.

“Malcolm Butler’s interception was truly memorable and deserving of this recognition,” said Paul Edwards, U.S. vice president, Chevrolet Marketing. “We commend Tom Brady for being such a class act.”
