Did the Atlanta Falcons pump crowd noise in their stadium? The NFL is investigating
On ESPN’s “Postseason NFL Countdown,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Falcons are alleged to have played “artificial” crowd noise as the opposition had the ball in 2013 and 2014. It’s unclear what specific games the allegations span.
According to Schefter, the Falcons’ alleged actions are “expected” to result in NFL discipline, including a fine and even the potential loss of a draft pick for the practice.
The Falcons have cooperated with the NFL’s investigation, the team told ESPN. According to the report, the Falcons’ game operations department is alleged to have “originated” the noise plan.
