Colts request 'DeflateThisBrady' blimp not be flown over Lucas Oil Stadium during Patriots game

According to a report by WRTV6, the Indianapolis Colts have asked that a sign company not fly a blimp banner over Lucas Oil Stadium during the October 18 game between the Colts and New England Patriots. The sign was reportedly requested of AirSign.com by some Colts fans, and would have read "#DeflateThisBrady."

The wording is in reference to the "DeflateGate" saga that ensued when the NFL investigated quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots for allegedly underinflating footballs used during last January's AFC Championship game between Indianapolis and New England. Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL, but that suspension was overturned by a federal judge.

The Colts lost the AFC title game, 45-7, and the October 18 matchup will be the first meeting between the two teams since then.
