However, one thing that has gone largely unnoticed in recent weeks is the Patriots' 'Spygate 2' scandal. It now appears that Tom Brady has not forgotten about the incident that grabbed headlines in Week 14.

The second coming of the Spygate scandal came to light when a news reporter asked Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor about the incident after the Bengals played the Cleveland Browns. While the Patriots did admit to violating NFL policy during the incident, the NFL has yet to come to a conclusion, with the NFL still investigating the issue. Meanwhile, the Patriots took the decision to suspend Dave Mondillo, the videographer who recorded the footage in question. The Patriots' next game will see the AFC East winners face off against the Miami Dolphins. A win at the Gillette Stadium in their last game of the regular season will clinch the AFC's No. 2 seed for the Patriots.
