“The footballs for both teams were inflated and ensured to be at the same levels before the game. Same controlled env1ironment and done by the officials.”

You are in error in this one critical statement. What NOONE knows is what the actual inflation pressures were at the time of testing prior to the game. There is an allowable RANGE of pressure (12.5 to 13.5 psi) that was measured by the officials prior to the game. We do not know what either the Colts or Pats footballs measured at that time, except that ALL the footballs met the league limits. Depending on the preference of the QB, the Colts footballs may have been at 13.5 psi. We know that Brady prefers his footballs at 12.5 psi - an immediate 1 psi differential. So your statement that the footballs were the same is not borne out by the evidence at hand.

I meant each teams footballs were all the same level. Whether that was 12.5 or 13.5 for the Colts, not one of their balls dropped 2 psi. 11 Patriots footballs did. Explain how ALL the Patriots footballs were reinflated at halftime and were measured again after the game and ZERO of them were below the legal limit. How does 11 Patriots footballs drop 2 psi “naturally” in one half and not the other? It got warmer as the day went on in NE? Please
