I am not at all certain about the facts. What were the actual observations and by whom, and under what circumstances that support the assertion that 11 of 12 balls were “significantly” underinflated?
Since the “officials” corrected the situation at half time, no more physical evidence exists to definitively establish the facts. (It’s as if a CSI team had gone in and cleaned up the crime scene, without taking any samples or photographs, and then went into court and testified that there was blood all over the place.) Still, if the officials had corrected the situation at half time, why was the ball taken out of play prior to the first snap of the second half?
I’ve heard all the innuendo, I just don’t know what the evidence is.

Don’t post as fact when you are not at all certain about the facts.
Lead with ‘IF’.
The officials have the original 12 balls. In the 2nd half they substituted in back-up balls that met specification. Supposedly the NFL has all the balls that were used by both clubs.
