Sounds like the Colts management set up the Patriots to me: Indy’s D’Qwell Jackson said Thursday he didn’t notice a difference in the air pressure of the football he intercepted in last week’s AFC title game between the Colts and Patriots. It was believed the discovery of the Colts linebacker kickstarted the Deflategate investigation — reports initially indicated that he was the one who noticed the change in the air pressure of the footballs following a second-quarter interception of New England’s Tom Brady. That led to an ESPN report that 11 of the Patriots footballs from that game were under-inflated. However, Jackson said Thursday that simply wasn’t the case, telling NFL Media it wasn’t his claim that prompted the investigation. “I wouldn’t know how that could even be an advantage or a disadvantage,” Jackson said. “I definitely wouldn’t be able to tell if one ball had less pressure than another.” Jackson added that he doesn’t feel bitter toward the Patriots, who won the game 45-7. “It wouldn’t have changed the outcome of the game,” Jackson said. “They outplayed us. We didn’t match their intensity. I don’t feel slighted at all personally. They created turnovers, they ran the ball on us. They won that game because of their intensity — not the pressure of a football.”
