I don't know enough about field turf to say, and doubt the league lets things like that happen, but it's not out of the realm of possibility, and it does/has happened in the past.
My son's High School ran into that exact thing on the way to the State Championship game a few years back. No rain in a month, and the field was flooded. If you don't think a fields condition can be changed to benefit one team over the other, you haven't played the game. And I didn't say that was definitely the case here, I just noticed more flying rubber than usual. Heck, the grounds crew could have just inadvertently put too much down the last time they raked it.... but it wouldn't be the first time an NFL team, even the Saints, got caught doing something. If you're not cheating, you're not trying.
