The New England Patriots dynastic run did not come without its fair share of controversy. Arguably the biggest scandal of them all was “Deflategate,” which ruled that legendary quarterback Tom Brady was guilty of deflating footballs in the Pats 2014 AFC Championship Game victory over the Indianapolis Colts. A decade after the infamous game, former star safety Devin McCourty weighed in on the saga.
Brady was found to have been “at least generally aware” that air was taken out of the footballs that were used in New England's blowout 45-7 victory over the Colts, which eventually resulted in the league handing him a four-game suspension that went into effect at the start of the 2016 campaign.
