FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell watched the New England Patriots' exhibition opener, spending some time in owner Robert Kraft's suite.
It was his first game in New England since suspending quarterback Tom Brady in the scandal that came to be known as "Deflategate."
Goodell was in Kraft's suite at the start of the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a photograph posted on Twitter by The Boston Globe. Patriots spokesman Stacey James confirmed to The Associated Press that Goodell was at the game.
The Patriots lost to the Jaguars 31-24 without Brady, who sat out the exhibition.
