What was the precise PSI of each of the 12 footballs the Patriots offense used in the AFC Championship Game? Well probably never know.
NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino confirmed today that the NFL didnt log the exact PSI of each football. According to Blandino, when officials inspect footballs to see if theyre properly inflated, they simply approve them or disapprove them.

(49,533 posts)All of the Colts' footballs were.
All but one of the Pats' were not.
They both played in the same weather conditions, did they not?

(16,113 posts)Who were doing calculations based on 2psi deflation for various temperature drops, it creates a problem. The pats submit at the low end of the range, the colts submit at the high end. They both drop the same amount, and the colts balls are still compliant while the pats aren't. Except now you don't need a grand conspiracy to explain what happened, and you can create a plausible scenario in which Brady and Belichick weren't doing the evil laugh while letting air out of the balls.
