AFC championship: Patriots' sideline tablets not working

Haters of the New England Patriots will find this ironic: the Microsoft Surface tablets on New England's sideline were not working for part of the second quarter. But the Denver Broncos tablets were.
According to the CBS broadcast, the Patriots' tablets stopped working in the first half. The tablets are used to review plays, and are supposed to take the place of the still photos teams used for years.
Reporter Tracy Wolfson said the Broncos were not required to turn their tablets off until the Patriots' problem was resolved and that Microsoft would hard-wire New England's devices to work around problems with wireless access.
The Pittsburgh Steelers accused the Patriots of interfering with their coach-to-quarterback headset system in the regular-season opener in September, one of several instances of opponents suggesting shenanigans by New England at its home stadium.
