This is such a farce. One, an nfl official almost always have their hands on the balls at the beginning and end of every play. These guys handle balls all the time and at record levels on Monday night. Could they not tell the difference?
Two, an nfl rep should be checking these things throughout the games. They have their 53 man rosters of geezers on the sidelines pretending to be an integral part of the NFL group. Hang a pressure guage from their whistle and let them check during the endless tv timeouts.
Three, is the NFL too poor to supply their own balls? Granted, Roger doesn't have is own pair but this seems like the local gym supplying ten year old basketballs so members bring their own. NFL should supply them.
Again, the colts weren't winning period and Belichick runs his equipment room like a nascar pit crew. In it to win it.

It's not the officials damn job. They have seconds to spot the ball, throw in a new ball or use same ball, and correctly place the ball on a hash mark or where it needs to be spotted. Not once are they ever squeezing the ball like a player does. Every throw is underhand and most of them are wearing gloves in cold, rainy environments. Your argument is ridiculous

No, it is not their job. The teams are responsible for the management of their own footballs. End of story. It's a rule that's been in place for years.
This is the second time this regime has been caught cheating (who knows how many other times they have cheated and got away with it) the game trying to gain a competitive advantage.

Carolina's kicker said one of the balls he had to kickoff with against the Cardinals was deflated. He asked the ref to check the ball and the ref said he isn't allowed to.

When checking the game balls, the refs check the psi indoors. This is frustrating bc the ball loses some pressure in cold weather...
During our home playoff game this year I asked the official if he could check the psi outside again bc the ball felt flat and he...
said he could not. I guess you can't blame the official for that. Rules are rules. Maybe the league will make some changes this...
offseason. Sucks kicking a flat ball tho. #BombSquadNonetheless ?
