Kelly Stafford “never got tired” of watching her husband Matthew Stafford turn on the lights on NFL game days.
But now that the Rams have lost in the divisional round to the Eagles in the playoffs on Sunday, and the sun has officially set on their 16th season in the league, I, like the rest of the NFL community, will be playing the Mother of Four Wonders. What's next for a Super Bowl winner? quarterback.
“There are not enough words to express how proud I am.” Kelly started on Monday. He said this on Instagram the day after the 28-22 loss.
“We joke that we're old and tired, but to be honest, I'll never get tired of seeing you outside and seeing your daughters cheering on their daddy.” I'm not sure if this is the end… I guess we'll find out soon.”
Kelly, who has been married to Stafford, 36, since 2015, accompanied the post with several photos from Sunday's game. It showed the couple's daughters, twins Chandler and Sawyer and Hunter and Tyler, cheering on the sidelines of Lincoln Financial Field.
Stafford completed 26 of 44 passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns on a snowy Sunday in Philadelphia, where he was sacked five times.
“I'm going to take some time to think about it,” the 2009 No. 1 overall pick told reporters when asked about his future after the season.
“But I feel like I played pretty good ball,” he said.
This season marks Stafford's fourth year in Los Angeles.
Stafford was traded from the Lions to the Rams in January 2021 in a franchise-changing move for both teams, with Detroit acquiring him in exchange for quarterback Jared Goff.
The Rams won the Super Bowl in Stafford's first season in the West.
He has made the playoffs in three of the last four years with the Rams.
Meanwhile, Detroit continued to improve after Goff's arrival, with the Lions clinching the NFC's top seed in this year's playoff race.
But like the Rams, the Lions' Super Bowl dreams suffered a setback this weekend with a 45-31 upset at home to the sixth-seeded Commanders.
Stafford still has two years left on his contract.
