3. Spygate

It seems that Patriots are appearing in NFL scandals regularly. One of the biggest scandals they were involved in as organization is the Spygate. Patriots were fined for videotaping Jets’ defensive coaches from their sidelines back in 2007. Who knows how many teams have they beaten thanks to this cheating tactic, but, at least, the Pats were heavily fined for their wrongdoings. Head coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000, while Patriots lost $250,000 and 2008 first round draft pick. While they aren’t appearing in Super Bowls as regularly as in two thousand, Patriots are still a powerhouse within the league.
