I read their response. I don't buy it, but it may be true.
As for why film the Bengals, you could say that about the Jets a few years back.
What cracks me up about the Naysayers is that the Pats acknowledged the recording. It was done unintentional as it was part of the series done for Pats fans called "Let's Go!". But since it is the Pats, all the haters turn it into a witch hunt and negate the details.
Patriots admit they violated NFL policy by shooting video of Bengals’ sideline
The New England Patriots acknowledged Monday that they violated NFL policy when a video crew working for them shot footage of the field and the Cincinnati Bengals’ sideline during the Bengals-Browns game Sunday in Cleveland.
The Patriots’ admission came
in a written statement released Monday night while the league was in the process of reviewing the video. It was not immediately clear what punishment, if any, the Patriots will face from the NFL. The league declined to comment Monday night.
“We understand and acknowledge that our video crew, which included independent contractors who shot the video, unknowingly violated a league policy by filming the field and sideline from the press box,” the Patriots said in the statement.
The video crew had been credentialed by the Browns, according to the Patriots, to shoot an online feature on a scout who was attending the game. The feature was part of an online series of “Do Your Job” episodes that also has included day-in-the-life features on members of the Patriots’ training and equipment staffs, the team said.

Even the Tweet posted early does not go into detail. Where is the detail about the incident?
For what it is worth, the video recording was confiscated by the NFL and is currently under review by the league office.
