BOSTON -- Referees approved the footballs used by the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, even though they were under the NFL's allowable PSI prior to the game, CBS Boston reports.
According to CBS Boston, sources said referees approved 12 game footballs prior to the game, and the under inflated footballs were perhaps not inspected properly.
From CBS Boston reporter:
This is just the latest turn in the bizarre saga of Deflate-gate.
On Monday, the NFL reportedly interviewed a locker-room attendant who may have had contact with the footballs after they were handled by the refs.
