—I have not heard whether the 11 balls in question
—were actually used during the game.

There are 12 balls per side.
11:12 balls were deflated
Unless they played with only one ball (unlikely)
or 11:12 balls were defective in some way (unlikely)

Those balls were purposely manipulated
a breach in NFL game rules.

Let’s say the balls in question were underinlated....so...this is big news compared to what’s going on in the nation? Look at the time that’s been spent on this issue compared to important news.

I think the 12th ball was kept at the proper pressure for use when the kicker was going for a field goal or extra point.

Maybe the refs should have handled the problem by deflating the Colts' footballs to the same pressure.
