NFL security swept the New York Jets' locker room at Gillette Stadium this past Sunday for electronic listening devices, The Boston Globe reported, citing multiple league sources.
The league did not confirm the sweep, but NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said via Twitter that "we have for years conducted regular & random checks. we do not get into details of specific games."
NFL security's actions surrounding Sunday's game came under the microscope when analyst Boomer Esiason said Thursday night during the Miami Dolphins-New England Patriots broadcast on Westwood One radio that a source told him the Jets had asked the league to sweep the visitors locker room for bugs.
