Oh boy. Here we go again.
Underinflated footballs were under the microscope again Thursday after a report published following the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 15 win over the New England Patriots claimed kicking balls used in the first half were not up to standard.
“It was noticeably more pumped up, I guess, in the second half than the first half,” kicker Harrison Butker told a gaggle of reporters Thursday.
Mass Live reports the kicking balls used in the first half “were underinflated by two pounds,” and the issue was corrected after being pointed out to officials at halftime.
