(Reuters) - The New England Patriots on Thursday delivered a blistering rebuttal of the NFL investigation into how footballs were deflated below league standards in the AFC title game.
In a website created to dispute the findings of the scandal known as "Deflategate," the Patriots said the conclusions in the report were "incomplete, incorrect and lack context."
The NFL suspended star quarterback Tom Brady four games next season, fined the club a record $1 million, and forced the Patriots to relinquish two draft choices for purposely deflating footballs used in the team's 45-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts that put it into the Super Bowl.
