Roger Goodell will continue to avoid attending a game at Gillette Stadium this weekend.

Goodell attended Saturday's game in Atlanta between the Falcons and Seahawks, but will return this weekend for the NFC Championship Game.

Goodell hasn't attended a game in New England since the 2014 playoffs and the subsequent multi-year Deflategate battle.

A face-to-face meeting between Goodell and Tom Brady would have to come if the Patriots win the Super Bowl in Houston.
