Please consider that (1) there is no evidence, discussion or information whatsoever about the Colts process (compared to the Patriots' process, as to which Belichick went in detail, (2) there is no evidence regarding the precise AMOUNT by which the balls were underpressure, and (3) there is no evidence regarding the starting PSI amount for the Colts' footballs.
Perfectly plausible hypothetical for the Colts -- they inflated their balls to 13.5, and did it outside. Patriots balls went from 12.5 to 11.5, while Colts went from 13.5 to 13.0.
Do I know that to be true? Heck no. That's just it, the NFL has given us NOTHING. We don't know anything beyond what BB told us about the Patriots pre-game process.
