"It’s a league problem. It’s wherever,"
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said, via
PFT. "It will go out right in the middle and not just here or in New England or in San Francisco, but it could go out in a critical time."
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett: "That’s certainly been a part of having to deal with game-day situations, throughout my career as a player and a coach."
Speaking of the Cowboys, here's
Texans coach Bill O'Brien: "It happened in Dallas, it happens here, it happens wherever I’ve been."
Eagles coach Chip Kelly: "I’ve heard a lot of things on the headsets, I think there’s a lot of frequency issues some places. I’ve heard air traffic control and a lot of different things."
First-year
Jets coach Todd Bowles: "It’s happened a bunch of other places. There have been times when the headsets have gone out, it wasn’t New England, I can’t remember the places we’ve had it, but we’ve had some of those headset problems."

The NFL seems to be doing everything to deflect blame away from the Patriots. In an official statement, they said that the interference was caused by “a stadium power infrastructure issue, which was exacerbated by the inclement weather.” Even if true, these errors should really be few and far between. The NFL also has a reason to deflect blame away from the headsets that coaches use, as they’ve recently (in 2014) signed a five-year deal with Bose that’s reportedly worth over $50 million per year.
Either way, with hundreds of millions of fans around the world, and unfathomable amounts of money invested in the sport, the NFL should really be doing more to fix these technology bugs that affect games. When teams violate rules, the NFL is unabashedly harsh on them; look at the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 when they pumped fake crowd noise into the stadium. Maybe if the NFL wants to preserve the integrity of their game — and to remove the already large cloud that’s hovering over it — it must also be harsher on itself.
