The NFL fined the Patriots $1.1 million, removed a 2021 third-round draft pick and barred its television production crew from filming games during the 2020 season after the crew recorded the Cincinnati Bengals sideline. The team said the crew was independent of football operations; the discipline was imposed on the franchise, not Robert Kraft personally.
