Now we might have an idea as to how the Patriots went from 2-2 to 12-4 and the Super Bowl...
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports (and Deadspin picked it up) that the Colts actually had concerns about the footballs New England used in their regular season blowout loss to the Patriots on November 16.
Also: The officials did inspect the balls New England was using in the first half and found them to be illegal. Of course, given the NFL's penchant for rigging games, what happened next is less than clear!
New England was 4-1 in relevant games (they lost in week 17 to Buffalo, but, by then, had already clinched the AFC's #1 seed) after November 16.
