There have been a lot of reports about what the NFL has found during its investigation into allegations that the Patriots were using under-inflated balls during the AFC Championship game, but no word from the league yet about what they’ve discovered.
On Tuesday, NFL V.P. of football operations Troy Vincent said on PFT Live that league officials were in New England talking to the Patriots and that the league hoped to wrap things up in the next few days. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello sent a similar message on Wednesday.
“We are continuing our review and will provide information as soon as possible,” Aiello said, via Bob Glauber of Newsday.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported that 11 of the 12 balls the Patriots used were found to be under-inflated and Mike Florio of PFT reported Wednesday that the league has found that the balls were properly checked by officials before the game. There’s also a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN that the Colts informed the league of suspicions that balls the Patriots used in a November game between the teams were under-inflated, although there’s no word on whether the league looked into it at that time.
