ORIGINAL STORY: Deflategate hasn’t died just yet.
According to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer, the New York Giants filed a complaint with the NFL last week after finding that two of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ footballs were under-inflated. The Steelers defeated the Giants in that Week 13 matchup, 24-14.
We’ll let Glazer himself explain this new fiasco.

Is Deflategate 2 on the horizon? Only time will tell.
The New England Patriots were punished harshly for their role in the original Deflategate saga. They were forced to pay a $1 million fine and forfeit a first- and fourth-round draft pick. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ultimately was suspended four games for his alleged involvement, a punishment he served at the beginning of the 2016 season.
