Theyre saying NEs footballs were deflated to supposedly make it easier to throw and catch.
According to someone on here who was quoting Scott Zolak he said if the ball was underinflated it would make it harder to throw a spiral.

^ I wonder if Belichick cares. Hopefully not.
Irsay are you effing serious?
Which is more likely? A grand conspiracy involving ball boys surreptitiously draining air? Coaches spiriting balls away to slightly drain them and bring them back all while avoiding dozens of cameras on the sidelines?
Jimmy Kimmel explained how the Patriots deflated the footballs . . .
"They told the footballs they were worthless and would never amount to anything."
Well the timeline is defined :

According to Newsday, it all started following Colts linebacker D’Qwell Jackson’s interception of Tom Brady in the second quarter. Jackson gave the ball to a member of the Colts’ equipment staff who thought the ball was under-inflated. The staff member then told coach Chuck Pagano.
Colts general manager Ryan Grigson, who was sitting in the press box at Gillette Stadium, was then notified and he contacted NFL director of football operations Mike Kensil. Kensil then notified the officials on the field at halftime. The Patriots went onto score 21 third quarter points on their way to their 38-point romp.
Just two questions now. Was it deflated and why. And a third, if it was noticeably deflated did the officials pump up the rest of our balls ? Presumably not so I can only assume the balls weren't that clearly deflated.
