NFL officials accused of not properly inflating kicking balls for Patriots-Chiefs

Time, as the old saying goes, is a flat circle. Look no further than a report coming out of Foxborough on Wednesday night.

According to Mark Daniels of MassLive, there were issues with the inflation levels of the footballs during Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. The officiating crew stands accused of not properly inflating the kicking balls before the game, leading to issues for both teams in the first half.

According to multiple sources, the footballs that are meant for each team’s kicking units were underinflated by two pounds.
