Patriots penalized for breaking NFL offseason rules.
The New England Patriots have been punished by the NFL for violating league policy by losing two days of voluntary organized activities for a violation of offseason rules. The specific violation is unknown. This is not the first time the Patriots have been caught breaking the rules, having been involved in scandals such as Spygate and Deflategate. However, they are not the only team to have violated offseason rules in recent seasons.
