If you're looking for a more scientific explanation of football, never fear. Two of our favorite scientists, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye, sent out a series of tweets detailing everything from deflategate to the minutia of football physics.
So whether you're a Patriots fan putting the travails of deflategate on hold while you celebrate a win, or a Seahawks fan nursing your loss, take a second and learn a little bit more about the game.
Nye's fan loyalty certainly showed:
