The New England Patriots apparently know how to deflate footballs, but do you know how to make them and inflate them properly?

“How It’s Made” does. The TV show, which airs in the U.S. on the Science Channel, will run an episode Thursday evening — ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIX — all about football. The episode will examine beer, helmets, mascots and, of course, properly inflated footballs.

We have a clip of the segment on football inflation. It’s a short video, it’s embedded above, and it’s exclusive to seattlepi.com until the episode premieres at 10 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on Thursday.

Of course, footballs and their inflation — or lack thereof — have been quite the topic of conversation leading up to Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIX between the Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. The NFL is investigating why and how 11 of 12 footballs used by the Patriots in the AFC Championship game were under-inflated.
