New England Patriots fans had their chance to make their voices heard on Thursday night, and they made sure to do so in the most audible way possible.
After the Patriots forced a punt in the fourth quarter of their season opener against the Steelers to keep the score at 28-14 with under nine minutes left, the fans broke out with a stadium-wide “Where is Roger?” chant.
Below are videos from fans inside Gillette Stadium showing the chant:

NBC announcers Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth even mentioned the impossible-to-miss chants:
The chant was aimed at Commissioner Goodell, who declined to attend the season opener because of the acrimony between him and the Patriots over Deflategate.
Considering Goodell was booed and called a “liar” on his way into a New York courtroom last month, he was wise to avoid a potentially explosive scene in Foxboro.
