Patriots Caught With Under-Inflated Balls In A Playoff Game?!
When you watched the 45-7 romping of the Indianapolis Colts at the hands of the villainous New England Patriots for the AFC Championship game Sunday nothing seemed suspicious… but with the breaking news, the Patriots were found to be cheating?! 11 of the 12 Patriots’ footballs were under inflated by two pounds of pressure or PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). NFL rules state that the official game-ball must be between 12.5 to 13.5 PSI. Basically it makes the ball easier to catch and throw, as it doesn’t bounce as hard off the body and gives a better grip for the toss.
