The National Football League imposed several expensive penalties on the New England Patriots as a punishment for a December incident in which a television team worked for the team in a game between the Browns and Bengals in Cincinnati. This was quoted by ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Penalties include $ 1.1 million in fines, the loss of a third-round draft pick in 2021, and a ban on the team making its own every game during the 2020 season Television teams. After the incident, the New England Patriots said a video crew working on a profile piece for a team scout broke the league rules at the Bengals Browns game in Cleveland. In a statement, the Patriots, the video crew, which included independent contractors, said who shot the video was inappropriately filming the field and sideline from the press box. The team said the crew “unwittingly violated a league policy” because they had no specific knowledge of the NFL rules. The patriots said they searched and had access to credentials from The Browns for the video crew, but did not inform the Bengals and the NFL of what they called “accidental oversight.”
