Patriots Could Lose Draft Pick After Bengals Sideline Incident

There were reports last week that a New England Patriots employee was seen filming the Bengals’ sideline before they faced off against the Cleveland Browns.

The Patriots immediately took action before the NFL did, accepting the responsibility and acknowledging that it was a “failure to inform the Bengals and the league.” They also admitted that their filming crew “inappropriately filmed from the press box.”

The league is likely to penalize the franchise for their actions, which could mean a fine and the potential loss of a low-level draft pick.
