“The ball had no effect on the game.”
As a former player and coach, I can tell you that is completely false. Teams deflate balls all the time in cold weather to get an edge. A fully inflated ball is a rock in the cold and easier to fumble.
Cheating is rampant in the NFL and NCAA. It is also covered up to protect the institutions. I stopped watching years ago.

Be that as it may — colts lost one fumble. I didn’t see the game so I don’t know if that accounted for any points, but at most it would explain seven patriot points.
Colts got beat by thirty-eight.
