As the New England Patriots booked their seventh trip to the Super Bowl in the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady era, there was one prominent member of the NFL who was not in attendance.

For the second straight week, commissioner Roger Goodell elected to attend the Atlanta Falcons' playoff win at the Georgia Dome, a decision he apparently did not inform tight end Martellus Bennett of.

"Yeah, where is he?" Bennett asked reporters about Goodell, according to NESN's Darren Hartwell. "He's like Waldo right now. He doesn't want to come here. We don't know where he's at."

The fans at Gillette Stadium were also looking to see the commissioner.
