Tom Brady's four-game suspension would end right before a Week 6 meeting with none other than Indianapolis. That makes for a season opener against Pittsburgh without Brady and Le'Veon Bell. .
The $1 million fine is larger than the $750,000 the Patriots were fined for Spygate ($500,000 to head coach Bill Belichick and $250,000 to the team itself) in 2007.
