Narrative:

First officer's lnding. Gw 71.0 flaps 42. Wind 250 degree/7 KTS. Good approach- slight balloon in flare with td approximately 2000 ft down. Aircraft drifted slightly right in rollout but first officer maintained control at 60 KTS and did not notice any control or braking problems and exited runway at runway 22R. Instructed to taxi via taxiway B to gate. At term, ground control informed us a jet landing behind us thought we might have blown a tire on landing. I did not notice any increased power required to taxi- no pull to any side- and brake temperatures were well within the green band. Called maintenance to meet us at the gate and continued taxi to XXX after engine shutdown- wheels were examined, and the left tire on the right main truck was flat with a very noticeable bald spot on the bottom of the tire. An xx entry was made. It appeared that the tire might not have even rotated on initial landing, and we were able to taxi with no difficulty because the tire had worn down at the bald area.
