none of the Colts balls went through this.

The second half balls for the Patriots didn't go through this.

That suggests to me that:

1. Whatever happened to the first half balls was the result of treating them differently from the 2nd half balls.
2. If 1 is true, that is almost absolutely an indication of human, intentional actions.
