After three weeks of the 2022 NFL season, the Miami Dolphins are one of the best teams in the AFC. For that reason, the Cincinnati Bengals fans sneaked into their trainings to tape their secrets, but their rivals were prepared to fool those onlookers with a brilliant strategy.

The Dolphins have surprised everyone after three games. They managed to defeat the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills to earn a 3-0 record and the first place in the AFC East.

As for the Bengals, the situation is very different. They have a 1-2 record for everyone’s surprise, so their fans are trying to help the team. They sneaked into Miami’s practice and taped their plays, but there was a brilliant response by the coaching staff they were not prepared for.

The Dolphins coaching staff realized they had some onlookers during their practices, so they changed the team and used 12 offensive players in each snap instead of 11. This move helped them to confuse the spectators as they won’t be able to see the real gameplan they will use against the Bengals.

According to Tom Pelissero, NFL Insider, the league say there’s no evidence of a competitive violation committed,asthe videos circulating in social media were taped by fans and not people related to any team.
