Unfortunately, no. It is the home team's responsibility to have 36 footballs, 24 for indoor games, ready to be checked by the head referee, with a pressure gauge, two hours prior to the game. Those balls must meet the NFL's requirements or they will not be used. Also, twelve new footballs, sealed in a special box and shipped by the manufacturer, will be opened in the officials' locker room two hours prior to the starting time of the game. These balls are to be specially marked with the letter "k" and used exclusively for the kicking game.
