FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The NFL says the New England Patriots had nothing to do with audio interference that rendered the Pittsburgh Steelers coaching headsets useless during the first quarter on opening night.
Spokesman Michael Signora says the league believes it’s entirely attributable to an electrical issue that was made worse by inclement weather.
After the Steelers’ 28-21 loss, coach Mike Tomlin said communication problems are “always the case” when playing in New England. The Steelers didn’t plan to file a formal complaint.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he had problems with his headsets, too. And he said “it’s just not right” that his team is repeatedly being accused of cheating.
