Patriots coach Bill Belichick is apologizing for the commotion surrounding his team following accusations the club spied on the New York Jets during Sunday's season-opening victory.
Belichick says in a written statement that he spoke with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this week about a "videotaping procedure." He says the Pats have not yet been notified of the league's ruling.
Belichick refused to answer questions about the accusations at a morning news conference.
A league spokesman says an investigation is under way but denies an ESPN.com report that Goodell has determined the Patriots violated league rules when they videotaped defensive signals by the Jets' coaches.
NFL security confiscated a video camera and tape from a Patriots employee during New England's 38-14 victory. The employee was accused of aiming his camera at the Jets' defensive coaches as they signaled to players on the field.
