Football from AFC Championship Game sold for nearly $44K in auction
The only ball from this year’s AFC Championship Game known to have made its way into the public domain sold Saturday morning for $43,740, one of the highest prices ever paid for a football.
Auction house Lelands.com sold the ball from the now famous “Deflategate” game on behalf of Laura Nichols, who was given the ball by New England Patriots wide receiver Brandon LaFell in the third quarter after his teammate LeGarrette Blount scored a touchdown.
