In Week 14 of the 2016 season against the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Football Giants were having problems with the communication device installed into quarterback Eli Manning’s helmet. Head coach Ben McAdoo resorted to using a handheld walkie-talkie in order to relay the offensive plays to Manning. The use of walkies during a game is within the rules, however, coaches are not allowed to use them.
So, the league sought out a team fine. Others wanted a more severe penalty such as loss of a draft pick. Regardless, the National Football League (NFL) deems the Giants as violators and punishment is warranted.
