Ravens coach said Bill Belichick and Pats cheated
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said after Saturday’s 35-31 loss to the New England Patriots that he felt the four-man offensive line that coach Bill Belichick used in the third quarter was “deceptive” and “illegal.”
From NFL.com:
It’s not something that anybody has ever done before,” Harbaugh said. “They’re an illegal type of a thing and I’m sure that [the league will] make some adjustments and things like that.
“We wanted an opportunity to be able to identify who the eligible players were,” Harbaugh explained, “because what they were doing was they would announce the eligible player and Tom would take it to the line right away and snap the ball before [we] even figured out who was lined up where. And that was the deception part of it. It was clearly deception.”
