They use different sets of balls for each team. The Colt balls were not deflated only the Pats, if I’m reading the story correctly.

Fox Sports - "(Rodgers) said something [that] was unique," Simms revealed. "[Rodgers said] 'I like to push the limit to how much air we can put in the football,
even go over what they allow you to do and see if the officials take air out of it.' Because he thinks it's easier for him to grip. He likes them tight."
As Curran astutely points, out, "Ball manipulation could be an NFL epidemic."

The Colt balls were not deflated only the PatsHow does anyone know that? Has the NFL done testing on all the balls the Colts used? If not, why not? All I've read is that 11 of the 12 NE balls were under-inflated 2lbs. below NFL specs.

You’re correct.
Limbaugh said it was first noticed when (Colt player) D’Qwell Jackson intercepted a Brady pass. Supposedly he told the coaches the ball felt soft.
