“... who, perhaps more than any other team, are aware of exactly what they are and aren’t allowed to do...”

I have 2 questions about this. 1-Rice's attorney had access to the video, so why didn't they ask him for it. 2-Even if they didn't see the video from inside the elevator, they had to know that it did exist, so why make a quick ruling of 2 games without seeing all of the evidence first??
