Something about the Patriots ‘deflating’ their balls for the game.

The Refs are supposed to check the ball pressure 2 hours before game time... That’s a lot of balls to check !

So can you get the Refs to check the opponents balls in a cold room and your balls in a nice warm room?



Digest of Rules Main

Ball
The home club shall have 36 balls for outdoor games and 24 for indoor games available for testing with a pressure gauge by the referee two hours prior to the starting time of the game to meet with League requirements. Twelve (12) new footballs, sealed in a special box and shipped by the manufacturer, will be opened in the officials’ locker room two hours prior to the starting time of the game. These balls are to be specially marked with the letter “k” and used exclusively for the kicking game.”
