Ahead of the Los Angeles Rams playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings, Kelly Stafford is willing to take one for the team.
Stafford, the wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, revealed she’s been battling a nasty illness with the NFL playoffs around the corner.
“I can’t think straight,” Kelly said Tuesday, January 7 on her “Morning After” podcast. “I currently believe I have the flu. Two of my daughters have the flu.”
Things are so bad, Kelly explained, that she “wasn’t able to move yesterday” when she was in attendance at the Rams’ regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, January 5.
Harry How/Getty Images Kelly Stafford addressed a very relatable parenting problem under some very unrelatable circumstances. On the Tuesday, October 22 episode of her podcast “The Morning After,” Kelly, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, discussed her young daughters’ lack of focus when they attend one of their dad’s home games. “There’s […]
“I passed out on a little bench in the suite,” Kelly noted. “We had all of our friends in town and I was a real downer.”
Due to her sickness, Kelly said husband Matthew “won’t come close to me, which I completely understand.”
So, with that in mind, Kelly said she’s prepared to pack her bags. “If all my kids have the flu, I don’t think we should be in this house with him,” she said.
Kelly got ahead of the criticism and explained why it would be her and her four daughters — twins Sawyer and Chandler, 7, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4 — who would be moving out instead of Matthew.
“I know everyone’s like, ‘Why would y’all move? There’s 5 of you and 1 of him,’” she said. “Because all of his work stuff and his film room and everything is here. So we would just get out of here. I think that is on the table right now.”
Kelly added, “We have 105 fevers going around this house right now and we can’t have Matthew with that going into the playoffs. So we’re going to do our best to not let him get that.”
The Rams will host the Vikings at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium on Monday, January 13. Despite Minnesota having a 14-3 record, Los Angeles, who finished the season 10-7, get to play at home by virtue of winning the NFC West.
Kelly Stafford unabashedly let loose while watching the Los Angeles Rams secure a crucial victory on their home field. The wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford responded after a video of her dancing inside her suite at SoFi Stadium from last week’s game hit social media. “Welp…my dance moves are embarrassing,” Stafford wrote via Instagram […]
Kelly didn’t have time to listen to any critics who argued against the NFL’s seeding practices, which gave the Rams home-field advantage in the first round.
“I don’t really understand the complaints,” she said. “Your team made the playoffs. If they’re that good to win the Super Bowl, they should win the Super Bowl.”
Given their record, Kelly told upset Vikings fans “you should have no problem with us,” before adding, “But you are going to have a problem with us, just saying.”
The Rams-Vikings Wild Card game kicks off on Monday, January 13 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN.
