Not a football fan, but from what I’ve read apparently it’s better for kicking to have a normally inflated ball — that one is probably the one they do kicking stuff with.
Yes, Bellicheat left one ball inflated for his kicker.
The ‘Kicking Balls’ are handled separately by the Officials. They are inspected before each game. The ‘Scrimmage Balls’ are supplied by each team’s offense for their own use while on the field.
What brought this about was a Patriots pass was intercepted by a Colt defender and he could tell the ball didn’t feel right and so he took it to the coach and he notified the officials......................
no they have separate balls - K balls - for that
