A deeper dive in the stats to debunk aside, the whole premise is absurd. They've been cheating for ~5 years, just never been caught until now? Ridiculous.
To add to that, it assumes other teams either weren't aware of this advantage or didn't attempt it because they had more integrity. Even then, if it was some clear advantage, but they didn't want to cheat, wouldn't they deflate balls to the legal minimum to at least get some of that amazing advantage?

Not neccesarily. Maybe Tom Brady is an exception in that he likes or tolerates a deflated ball where as most quarterbacks are a limiting factor to the fumbling advantage.
