Besides temperature-based deflation and the timing of the measurements, the wetness or dryness of a ball's surface also has a small but detectable effect on the measured pressure, and minor measurement error may be caused by the gauges. During halftime, the referees used two gauges on each ball: one bearing a Wilson logo and one without. The non-logo gauge was the one that Wells believed to have been used by Anderson to confirm the pregame pressure of the balls. The logo-bearing gauge appeared to consistently run at least 0.35 psi above the (accurately calibrated) [15] :Appendix 1,45 non-logo gauge, but both were determined to be extremely consistent and precise. The logo gauge was shown to be inaccurate (running high) but consistently precise, and therefore the report claimed it as additional confirmation that the non-logo measurement was correct (with the exception of Colts ball #3, below). Wells believed that Blakeman and NFL official Dyrol Prioleau used the non-logo and logo gauges respectively in the Patriots' halftime tests, and that the two men switched gauges for the Colts' halftime tests. A deflated football has a smaller mass because it has fewer gas molecules inside of it. Assuming that the temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), the mass of the air in a football inflated to 12.5 psi is about 0.39 ounces (11 g). A football deflated to only 10 psi has a mass of 0.36 ounces (10.2 g). The difference is about the weight of a paper clip, Eads said.

Atmospheric pressure varies considerably with elevation. But because ball pressure is measured at 13 psi relative to atmospheric pressure, elevation has no effect whatsoever on the feel of a football or its pressure measurement while it is at constant temperature and elevation.

Many Patriots fans and New England media members assailed the report for its ambiguous allegations, including phrases such as "more probable than not" and "generally aware" in relation to Brady's knowledge of the situation, and the report's minimization of the NFL's wrongdoing in relation to the air pressure of the footballs. [40] Many New England fans were furious at ESPN, especially at Chris Mortensen, for broadcasting news stories that were seen as painting the Patriots in a negative light. [41] Mark Brunell and Jerome Bettis strongly criticized Brady on ESPN, saying that based on their playing experience, it was unlikely that the balls had been underinflated without Brady's awareness. [42] Brady was also implicated due to multiple phone conversations between him and Jastremski, although the context of those calls remains unknown. Did Brady cheat?

Using the equation above, 72 degrees F for room temperature, and an atmospheric pressure of 14.59 psi measured in the Boston area at the start of the AFC Championship, a ball with only an initial 11.5 psi at room temperature would measure at an acceptable 12.5 psi if the measurement occurred while the air in the ball was still at about 92 degrees.
