Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, publicly criticized the NFL over the team's schedule in a social media post. "Because damn, after 18 years around this league, even I need a week off during the season," she wrote, expressing frustration with the lack of a bye week for the Rams during the current campaign.
The comments come as the Rams navigate a challenging stretch of games. Matthew Stafford is in his 16th NFL season, having spent the past three years with Los Angeles after 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions. The couple has been prominent in the Los Angeles sports community since his arrival in 2021.
Kelly Stafford has previously spoken about the physical and mental toll of the NFL schedule on players and their families. Her latest remarks highlight ongoing concerns about player welfare and the league's scheduling practices.
