On Sunday, Jan. 8, the NFL released information regarding a possible cheating scandal on the American Football Conference Championship game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. The Pats ended up winning 45-7.

After the contest between the Patriots and the Colts, it was discovered that 11 out of the 12 game balls used were under inflated by two pounds per square inch.

In an interview conducted by ESPN earlier in 2011, Patriots quarterback said, “When [tight end Rob Gronkowski] scores … he spikes the ball and he deflates the ball. I love that, because I like the deflated ball, but I feel bad for that football, because he puts everything he can into those spikes.”

At the time the senior vice president of communications of the NFL has no comment about the investigation.

It is expected that the investigation will close up within the next few days.
