Week 7 Patriots vs Jets: NFL Swept New York Locker Room for Bugs, Interrogated Staff

Turns out that teams care a little more bit about warm Gatorade than we'd like to admit.

The NFL conducted a sweep of the visitor's locker room during the week 7 match-up between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets in order to determine whether or not there were electronic bugs that the home team could have been using to steal information.

"We have for years conducted regular & random checks," NFL PR shared. "We do not get into details of specific games."

Random is not a word that any Patriots fan would use to describe this event, especially not after the Steelers outcry after their headsets went haywire back in week 1.
