Patriots' Super Bowl Appearance Sets Up Showdown With Goodell

The Patriots' latest Super Bowl appearance will represent a "showdown" with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, according to a BOSTON GLOBE front-page piece. After the team's AFC Championship win, Patriots Owner Robert Kraft said, "All of you in the stadium understand how big this win was. But we have to go to Houston and win one more." Amid Deflategate, Goodell has not come to Gillette Stadium in "two full years." Patriots radio analyst Scott Zolak during the third quarter was featured on the stadium videoboard "holding a yellow sign that read, 'Where is Roger?'" After that, "Where is Roger?" chants began emanating from the crowd (BOSTON GLOBE, 1/23). 

Brady-Goodell sets up a Super Bowl "ending worth watching" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 1/23). The game "could prove a weeklong nightmare for Goodell" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 1/22).
