Even though the Patriots are #1 seed, Goodell has avoided their playoff games.
Pats fans are still very upset at deflategate and he doesn’t want to deal with it. He won’t have a choice if Pats go to Super Bowl, but at least that will be on neutral site.
Roger Goodell will attend the NFC Championship game in Atlanta on Sunday, per a league spokesman.
