Tom Brady is trying to defend himself from deflategate. He is being accused by the NFL of deflating footballs from their standard pressure in playoff games for his advantage. Before the game, footballs are kept inside a warm closet in the Patriots' locker room. How might Tom Brady use his knowledge of chemistry gas laws to explain to the NFL why the footballs seemed deflated during their recent win on a cold January Sunday?

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the relationship between temperature and pressure are directly related. As the temperature dropped, the air pressure inside the football automatically dropped too because when temperature decreases, pressure decreases.
