NEW YORK (KDKA/AP) ― A Pittsburgh Steelers-New England Patriots game has now become part of the focus of the NFL 'Spygate' scandal.

New tapes of the 2002 AFC Championship game are set to arrive in New York today for a special investigation.

Former video assistant to the Patriots, Matt Walsh, sent eight videotapes to the NFL that show the team violated league rules by recording opposing coaches' play-calling signals.

Walsh is set to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Gooddell as well as Senator Arlen Specter on Tuesday.

The tapes reportedly include signals by coaches of five opponents in six games from 2000-02.

Officials say the tapes sent to the NFL show that the Patriots recorded signals in regular-season games against Miami, Buffalo, Cleveland and San Diego, as well as against Pittsburgh in that 2002 game.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello says the information is consistent with what the Pats have admitted doing.
