This weekend ended at full blast for the New England Patriots after two news items were released that caused a stir in the NFL world. The first was signing for a year with former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.
And as if this will not be enough, NFL insider and ESPN journalist Adam Schefter returned to ‘explode’ Twitter with the announcement of not one, not two, but three penalties the Patriots received by an illegal filming of a Cincinnati Bengals game

The New England organization received fined $ 1.1 million, he lost the Draft 2021 third-round pick and his filming team won’t be able to record games for next season. Not everything could be good for the Pats.
The event that led to the sanction by the NFL occurred when a member of the Patriots filming team filmed from the Bengals sideline in a game against the Cleveland Browns. All of this occurred following a complaint by the same Cincinnati team.
Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer posted a video in which members of Bengals security interrogated Patriots cameramen for signing from the sideline, a situation that is prohibited by NFL rules.
