Team officials get the balls 2 hours and 15 minutes before the game.

No, the ball boys get the balls about 10 minutes before the game. They are not turned over to the teams.

For those who are interested here is the audio of former NFL ref Gerry Austin talking about how the balls are handled before a game etc.
