Did he go on to consider that both QBs were using the same footballs with the same amount of inflation, thereby giving both of them the same edge?

While both teams supplied 2 sets of 12 balls (and if the NFL followed their own rules, when they had a question they’d have gone to the second set which were kept locked up instead of altering the Patriots footballs), according to Colts players at one point the Patriots were fed a Colt football that got mixed in - which would also explain why 11+1+1 does not equal 12 - and why there is one outlier in the measurements of the Patriots football which is much higher pressure than all of the others.
The statistical analysis of the differences, which is done incorrectly in other ways as well and then misrepresented in the text, hinges on that 13th football being a Patriots ball and not a Colts ball.
