Goodell plans to attend the NFC Championship in Atlanta between the Falcons and Packers, ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported.

Goodell has not appeared at Gillette Stadium since the widely debated “Deflategate” saga.

“He’s the commissioner, so obviously whatever he wants to do, he can do,” Tom Brady said on Monday when asked if he cared about whether or not Goodell would be in attendance.
