New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia's choice of attire for the team flight back to Boston will raise some eyebrows.

As Patricia walked off the plane at Logan Airport, he was spotted wearing a T-shirt depicting NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as a clown:

The Patriots have had their differences with Goodell, of course, dating back to the Deflategate scandal. The team got the last laugh at Super Bowl LI, as Goodell was forced to hand the Lombardi Trophy to Patriots owner Robert Kraft and declare Tom Brady, the player he suspended for four games to open the season, Super Bowl MVP.

The Goodell clown shirt is produced by Barstool Sports, a sports website founded in Massachusetts that has been an ardent supporter of Brady.
