Doesn’t matter...
In Today’s NFL, CHEATING PAYS...
They are in the Super-bowl, and will make tens of millions of dollars from it.
Sure, they may get fined, but they’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.
IIRC, Tom Landry (after he retired) hinted that some of the early Superbows were ‘fixed’ so as to create greater national interest in them.

I do wonder how much of what we see as ‘sports’ on TV is actually more ‘entertainment’ in the manner of pro wrestling.
Playing A+ ball against B- ball is all. No need to cheat, just be smarter than the competition. Quit resting on your laurels.
