Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message after the Rams’ impressive 27-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the wild card round. In her post, she emphasized the importance of family and unity, both within the Stafford household and on the Rams team.
Accompanying her message were several touching photos, including one of Kelly in a special game-day outfit featuring the Los Angeles County Fire Department logo and her four kids proudly wearing Rams jerseys with their dad’s number.
Kelly reflected on the significance of the victory, writing, “Our guys brought home a win for the city of LA this week. I wanted to share the story of how we all got there and how the @rams put family first… sick or healthy, we were all sticking together.”
She went on to acknowledge the difficult times many families are facing, adding, “It’s nothing compared to what our brave first responders are battling or what many families are facing, but I hope it gives a little bit of inspiration of just what this city’s community is capable of. I have resources in my highlights of how to give back during this time #lastrong.”
Kelly’s post also alluded to the challenges her family had endured leading up to the game. In earlier updates, she had revealed that their twin daughters, Sawyer and Chandler, were rushed to the hospital over the weekend, though the details remained private. Despite the situation, the family made it to the game, and Kelly admitted on her podcast, Morning After, that she had experienced “huge guilt” about attending under the circumstances.
Ultimately, it was a remark from Matthew about the importance of “being together” during tough times that helped Kelly push through and attend the game. Her support proved invaluable as the Rams triumphed in their wild card match, bringing joy and hope to the Stafford family and the city of Los Angeles.
