Patriots do not control the headsets. The NFL does. I once had a woman from the concession stand in my headsets at Fed EX field. - Mills

Belichick says he had to switch headsets couple times. Both teams having communication problems. BB: “Seems like we deal with that weekly.”

As in, using a radio jammer?
You do realize if the Patriots were doing this, they would have bigger issues than simply with the NFL... right?

Not necessarily a full on jammer, but something to create interference of some kind.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said issues with headsets a league issue, not a specific team. Said he had an issue at Buffalo once, for example.

Ron Rivera says he's never had any issues with headsets in Foxboro. Has had problems with them other places.
Preventing such interference — or clearing it up quickly — is the job of one of the NFL’s unsung heroes: the gameday frequency coordinator. These specialists track and manage hundreds of frequencies and thousands of in-stadium frequency-dependent devices. They also account for interference from sources outside of the stadium, such as TV stations and special events.
“Right now, our duty is to cram 500 MHz of users into 25 MHz of spectrum,” the NFL’s lead frequency coordinator, Karl Voss, said in a May 2014 interview with Audio Gloss, a blog published by RF Venue, an audio technology company. “Everybody seems to think that [radio frequency] is their God-given right. And essentially the job of the coordinator is to make sense of that — to try and give as many people tools that they need to do their job within reason.”
Quarterbacks, defensive play-callers, coaches and game officials all depend on coordinators to ensure that their systems are interference-free. So do TV and radio broadcasters and reporters, medical and security personnel, staff who use the NFL’s instant replay and injury video review systems, concession operators, cleaners, halftime entertainers and many more.
