ESPN report: Patriots cheated against Colts before DeflateGate

The assignment to Matt Walsh, a former videographer with the New England Patriots, was different this time.

Instead of honing in on defensive signals as he'd been ordered to do against other NFL teams, focus on offensive signals.

It seems the Colts, too, were a victim of Spygate. Which means the Patriots' alleged cheating against Indianapolis started long before DeflateGate.

In a detailed and extensive ESPN report, titled "Spygate to Deflategate: Inside what split the NFL and Patriots apart," a myriad of cheating allegations against New England are outlined.
