According to Fox Sports, both teams will be required to submit two dozen footballs to game officials — 12 for the game and 12 backups — two hours and 15 minutes prior to kickoff. The 12 "primary" balls will be numbered by game officials, who will check the inflation of each ball prior to the game and record that information.
The acceptable PSI will remain between 12.5 and 13.5, and balls will be inflated or deflated accordingly if they fall outside that range.
Chain of custody also will be a focus, with a league security official involved in making sure each football is accounted for from the pregame period on.
