So we're to believe they didn't mess with the game balls but tried to get away with putting an unapproved kicking ball onto the field? That's pretty egregious considering the special teams balls are in a separate bag away from the other balls. So there is no chance they just picked up the wrong ball and put it into play. They purposely tried to sneak the unapproved ball into play. This may take away any benefit of the doubt they may have been given about the game balls not being deflated on purpose.
The AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts is already infamous for the 'Deflategate' controversy.
There may be another storyline to discuss.
According to ESPN's Outside the Lines, locker-room attendant Jim McNally attempted to send an unapproved special teams football onto the field in the first half of the game.
When handed the unapproved ball, the official noticed it did not have the proper "K" marking on it and notified the NFL's Vice President of Game Operations.
It’s unknown whether the 48-year-old is the same person who was reportedly seen on surveillance tapes taking a bag of footballs into a bathroom.
'Deflategate' investigator Ted Wells has already interviewed McNally in regards to the situation.
More to come…
