Each decision will be done on a case-by-case basis and we’ll make the decision we feel is best for the New England Patriots football team.

I had no knowledge of the various steps involved in the game balls and the process that happened between when they were prepared and went to the officials and went to the game. So, I’ve learned a lot about that.
