Both teams did not use the same balls. That is the issue. Each team provides their own balls to use when they are on offense. That is how it works in NFL games. It was found because D'Qwell Jackson noticed the ball was deflated when he caught an interception and the Colts brought it to the refs attention.
That said, I doubt it would have significantly effected the outcome of the game and the Pats would still have won. It is just silly that this happened.
