Fans on Twitter Mistake Indianapolis Colts DB Darius Butler for Malcolm Butler on Twitter

Malcolm Butler won the Super Bowl for the New England Patriots Sunday when he made his infamous interception on the goal line with less than a minute to go in the game. At that moment he instantly went from being an undrafted rookie from West Alabama to a household name. The only problem is along the way some well-meaning fans wanted to congratulate him, but forgot to do one very important thing--check and see what his name was.

So when they hit Twitter to tweet their praises they remembered Butler, but not his first name and ended up showering praise down on Indianapolis Colts defensive back Darius Butler instead.

He could have corrected them, but it was much more fun to play along:
