Yet it seemed to hinder rather than help...
Under inflated:
Tom Brady in the first half: 11-for-21, 52 percent completions, 95 yards, one touchdown, one interception, 60.6 passer rating
After the refs re- inflated:
Tom Brady in the second half: 12-for-14, 86 percent completions, 155 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, 157.3 passer rating
Patriots in the first half: Outscored the Colts 17-7
Patriots in the second half: Outscored the Colts 28-0
You and other Patriot fans are missing the point. It doesn’t matter whether they won or lost or by how much. The asterisk-laden Coach Belichick and the Patriots were caught cheating yet again. Bottom line.
