Allegations:
• Former NFL coach-turned-analyst, Steve Spagnuolo, claimed on ESPN that Lions’ coaches were using encrypted communication devices to receive stolen play calls.

“We respect the integrity of the game.”
NFL Investigation: The NFL has launched a comprehensive investigation, led by Executive VP of Football Operations, Troy Vincent. “We take allegations of cheating seriously,” Vincent said. “If true, this would be a serious breach of competitive integrity.” Potential Consequences: • Loss of draft picks • Fines exceeding $1 million • Suspension of coaches or players
