Doesn't that advantage go both ways?
How did an "easier to catch" football give New England an advantage over the other teams? Don't both teams get to catch the ball?
Wouldn’t each team have their own balls? I thought I heard that on TV. Advantage Patriots.
They use different balls. Each team has it’s own 12 balls.

Each team is supposed to bring twelve game balls for their respective teams to use. If only one team deflates their team balls to make them more catchable, then only one team has the advantage consistently throughout the game.
