New England Patriots, Docked Third-Round Pick in 2021 by NFL

The NFL has fined the New England Patriots $1.1 million, docked a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft and barred the team's TV crews from shooting games during the 2020 season after the team was caught illegally videotaping the Cincinnati Bengals' sideline during a game in December.

The New England Patriots have been punished by the NFL for another filming incident. The team was fined $1.1 million, lost a third round pick in 2021 and had its TV crew barred from shooting games in 2020 after they were caught filming the Cincinnati Bengals sideline in December. Sports Illustrated host Robin Lundberg talked to Devon Clements of Patriot Maven about the punishment and the odd timing coinciding with the Cam Newton signing.
