The onus will be on the NFL to decide if it buys the Patriots’ explanation of independent contractors not knowing the rules.
Reporting from @pauldehnerjr: "According to sources who have viewed the tape, it shows about eight minutes of footage focusing on recording the Bengals’ sideline. It’s a direct view of the sideline as coaches make signals for plays." https://t.co/kLvekJpgud

The tape doesn't lie.
And in the case of the this latest Patriots scandal with the #Bengals game, it won't.
