FOXBOROUGH, Mass – Despite the play coming back, Jalen Reagor's opening punt return in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs is all the talk right now. 

On Wednesday, MassLive's Mark Daniels released a report detailing that the footballs used during Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and the Chiefs were underinflated. 

The Patriots were first to realize this after noticing something very peculiar during the opening kickoff, with Harrison Butker's kick landing on the 3-yard line. 

While some may not bat an eye at this, New England immediately knew something wasn't right. 

In his report, Daniels included that "Butker has hit 87.1% of his kickoffs for touchbacks." But instead, this one landed in perfect position for Reagor to return it. 

So there was one main question that remained: did Reagor notice anything off during the return?

And on Thursday, he spoke exclusively with A to Z Sports about this situation. 

"No. Uh uh," Reagor said. "If I did, I probably would have said something. But no, it felt normal to me."

And even more so, the wide receiver explained that he wasn't even aware that this was something that was being discussed. 

"I didn't even know until you just said something," Reagor told A to Z Sports. "I didn't even know that. Dang."

Even after the opening kickoff, things still weren't making sense about the kicking game, with the trajectory and hang time of kickoffs and punts being under what was expected. Daniels further added that the kicking balls were "unusually soft to the touch."

"It didn't even feel different," Reagor said about the kicking balls. "No, I didn't know nothing about it. That's crazy."

After the opening kickoff, Butker and Patriots kicker Chad Ryland both proceeded to miss field goals in the first half. And as Daniels reported, that was because the balls were discovered to weigh 11 PSI instead of the legal limit of 13.5. They were inflated at half and it was a noticeable difference, with the balls traveling father in the final two quarters. 

This provided Butker with a solid excuse for missing the kick, but instead, the Chiefs kicker continued to put the blame on himself. 

"I made a lot of big kicks with flatter balls," Butker told reporters (via KSHB 41 News' Aaron Ladd). "Shoot, even in college, they don't messure the air pressure at all. I kicked a lot of flat balls in college. So the NFL was great. They're at least pumping them up a little bit."

While another Deflategate scandal is the last thing the Patriots need this season, this one doesn't appear to be falling on their shoulders. And it seems like some of the specialists didn't even notice.
