LOVERRO: Brady gets his shot at revenge on Goodell

ANALYSIS/OPINION

Deflategate will get its final dramatic chapter.

The New England Patriots, the target of the NFL’s campaign on air in footballs, will get a chance for revenge now, as their 36-17 in over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC title game in Foxboro puts them on a collision course with their hated enemy, league commissioner Roger Goodell in two weeks at Super Bowl 51 in Houston.

The Patriots, making their eighth trip to the Super Bowl, will face the Atlanta Falcons, who beat down the Green Bay Packers Sunday 44-21 in the NFC championship game in the finale at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
