Goodell was roundly criticized for his decision to suspend Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice for just two games at the start of the regular season.
Rice pleaded not guilty to a third-degree charge of aggravated assault stemming from an incident in February with his then-fiance. Rice avoided trial by being accepted into a pretrial intervention program in May.
