This is so stupid.
No they use different ones. The teams are allowed to break in the balls prior to the game and mark them as their footballs. I think I read the complaint started after a Colts defender had one of NE's footballs and said it was deflated some. I doubt anything comes of this except more scrutiny because they probably can't prove how the football was deflated if they have no evidence of it purposely being done.
