-- The Bengals got blown out by the Patriots on Sunday and Cincinnati fans had nothing better to do than troll Patriots fans about the videotaping controversy that developed this week.
Fans showed up to the game with signs referencing the incident in which the Patriots allegedly sent a production crew to film Bengals sideline footage for a Do Your Job feature.

December 15, 2019 Some of the signs read “Film Your Job” and “Who dey gonna think they film the Bengals.”
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “With permission in hand, we started taping on December 6th – following the scout’s travel through the weekend to Cleveland and obtained footage of him working in his hotel room and interviewed him about his job. The final element needed to complete the story was to shoot from the press box at Progressive Field to show the audience what his responsibilities are on game day.” --
