Fox Sports aired a video this morning that appears to show a videographer for the New England Patriots illegally filming the Cincinnati Bengals at an earlier game this year. Have a watch:

Caught “red-handed”?

The interaction between the Bengals security & patriots employee who took that video is crazy. My man was caught red-handed & was out of answers, lmao. Great job by @JayGlazer getting that footage.

Yeah. This isn’t a great look for the Patriots:

On the one hand, this video is pretty harmless. On the other: If the videographer really was in town taping a "video feature on an advanced scout" (like the Patriots claim) why would the video guy ever need to turn the camera toward the Bengals sidelines ??? https://t.co/5Zgsc1nwn8

The NFL is reportedly investigating the incident. From The Ringer:

The issue came to light during Bengals head coach Zac Taylor’s Monday press conference, when he was asked by Bengals radio analyst Dave Lapham about whether “the Patriots had a videographer up in the Bengals’ press box area, working with an advance scout that was taping video of the Bengals’ sideline” during Sunday’s Cincinnati-Cleveland game. Taylor responded that he was “aware there was an incident” and that the NFL was investigating. League officials have not yet commented.
