For those that believe that deflated footballs only effect passing:
The Patriots are just the 3rd team in the last 25 years to have not lost a fumble at home. That is just crazy.
They also have the best play to fumble ratio (187 plays to 1 fumble) of any team in a five year span.
They have not lost a fumble at home this year! (even though it is and outdoor stadium which is cold and rainy)
For those that say what about fumbles not just fumbles lost....here is your stat.... "The Patriots averaged 73 plays/fumble, almost 60% MORE than outdoor teams, and almost 50% MORE than the league average the past 5 years"

Anyone explain this???
