The New England Patriots have been cleared of wrongdoing in regards to the audio interference experienced by the Pittsburgh Steelers in their Week 1 game.

Spokesman Michael Signora said Friday that the league believes the problem "involved no manipulation by any individual and that the Patriots had nothing to do with it."

The statement said the problem was "entirely attributable to an electrical issue made worse by the inclement weather" and that the league "will continue to review the matter to determine if there are technical steps that can be taken to avoid similar problems from occurring in other games."

Mike Tomlin said communication problems are "always the case" when playing at New England. 

But the Steelers decided not to file a formal complaint.
