Goodell wasn’t at the game, instead staying in New York City to attend the funeral of NYPD officer Didarul Islam, who died in the attack along with a security guard, a real estate firm employee and an investment firm executive.
“Tremendous loss,” Goodell said, reflecting on the death of Islam, a father of two with a third on the way.
