The NFL has found no evidence connecting Bill Belichick or the Patriots staff to the video taken by production staffers of the Bengals' sideline in December, according to The Washington Post.
The league's investigation of the incident is "winding down" and could come to a close as soon as this week, sources told the Post. Sources also said that it remains likely that the NFL will impose penalties on the Patriots similar to those given out for other game-day infractions.
New England could face a fine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
