Replay the game. Yeah right. It would probably be a nail biter because of the air pressure in the footballs. Nobody who has ever played the game past JV knows when a ball is flat, The Refs handle the ball between EVERY play. EVERY play. They wouldn’t have noticed a ball that was so altered it would have been an advantage? I know...it’s a Ref conspiracy!
11 of 12 balls under inflated. They cheated. Like I say, they would have crushed them without cheating.
I know almost immediately an under-inflated ball. Makes a huge difference depending upon individual palm-hand-finger size measurements. Receiving also, depending upon the gloved receiver, hand receiver, finger-glove, bare hand,
and the body compression receiver.
Even more, not mentioned yet, is that the conditions were wet and rainy. Handle a regulation (league), ball, a wet ball, in different conditions, especially a fully (hard) compression ball vs. a softer supple % inflated ball, taylored into hand size. spiral technique favoring included.
