Los Angeles (AFP) - The NFL is to review the communications malfunction that had Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin crying foul after a season-opening 28-21 loss to the Patriots in New England.

Tomlin was angry that the headsets used by Steelers coaches to communicate on the sidelines were picking up the Patriots' radio broadcast in the first half of the Thursday night game.
