Bill Belichick confirms kicking balls were underinflated in Patriots-Chiefs game, NFL declines to comment
FOXBORO — There were underinflated footballs in Gillette Stadium on Sunday, and the Patriots were 100% not to blame.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick confirmed that kicking balls were 2-to-2.5 PSI underinflated in the first half of Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. MassLive first reported on the issue earlier this week. Patriots kicker Chad Ryland and Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker both missed field goals in the first half.
It was both sets of balls. It was all six of them. You’d have to talk to the league about what happened, because we don’t have anything to do with that part of it. They control all of that. And they fixed them at halftime but didn’t do it before then, which is another question you could ask. But we don’t have anything to do with it. Were we aware of it? Yeah, definitely. But they were all, as I understand it, they were all the same.”
The NFL declined to comment on the situation to the Boston Herald.
