It may be true that the New England Patriots would have beaten Indianapolis last week even if they used "soap for balls" as Colts Tight End Dwayne Allen said yesterday. But many believe their narrow victory over the Baltimore Ravens could very well have been determined by the unauthorized footballs preferred by Quarterback Tom Brady.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer is now reporting that the Ravens could very well have tipped the Colts off about the under-inflated footballs. (video report above)
According to Glazer, the NFL was already planning to inspect the balls at halftime, despite D'Qwell Jackson's interception originally being reported as the cause.
While the NFL is still investigating and figuring out what direction to go in terms of possible penalties for Bill Belichick and the Patriots in what is being dubbed "Deflategate," many NFL owners, general managers and coaches are tired of the Patriots and are wondering if the league will finally take a hard line, Glazer reported.
The NFL says its investigation is ongoing after a report Tuesday night claimed the league found 11 balls were not properly inflated.
