— -- The NFL said there were no issues with the footballs used in last Sunday's New York Giants- Pittsburgh Steelers game, after a report that two of the balls were found to be underinflated.

In addition, the NFL said the Giants never filed an official complaint with the league.

"The officiating game ball procedures were followed and there were no chain of command issues," the NFL said in a statement Sunday. "All footballs were in compliance and no formal complaint was filed by the Giants with our office."

The league issued the statement after Fox Sports reported Sunday that the Giants tested two footballs used in the game in Pittsburgh and questioned their inflation levels. Fox Sports reported that the Giants then alerted the league.

"We did not file a complaint," a Giants official told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
