The NFL has opened up an investigation into whether the Patriots used deflated game balls in their win.

“That’s something for the league to handle,” Pagano said.  “It’s not my place to comment on it.”

The league’s rulebook says game balls must be inflated with between 12.5-13.5 pounds of air. 

“If any individual alters the footballs, or if a non-approved ball is used in the game, the person responsible and, if appropriate, the head coach or other club personnel will be subject to discipline, including but not limited to, a fine of $25,000,” the rule states.

New England will take on the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 49 in Arizona on Feb. 1.
