NEW YORK -- Nearly two dozen engineering and physics professors weighed in Tuesday with a federal appeals court being asked to review New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension for "Deflategate."

Papers filed with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said these experts believe the 2nd Circuit's ruling to uphold the suspension lacks any scientific proof and the appeals judges should reconsider an April decision that reinstated Brady's suspension.

"In the name of science, we support the petition for rehearing," the papers said.
