Roger Goodell Booed, Heckled Before Patriots' Home Opener vs. Chiefs

A Super Bowl victory over the Atlanta Falcons apparently did little to ease New England Patriots fans' dislike of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

According to Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports, Goodell was the target of boos and heckling when he was on the field at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before New England's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday.

Kalyn Kahler of Sports Illustratedpointed out this is Goodell's first trip to Gillette Stadium for a regular-season game since the Deflategate controversy dominated NFL headlines.
