Share and Follow

Matthew Stafford and his family’s trip to Arizona for the NFL’s Wild Card playoff weekend took a turn for the worse Saturday night. 

The Los Angeles Rams, led by Stafford, are set to play against the Minnesota Vikings at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. This decision comes after wildfires ravaged the City of Angels, leading the NFL to relocate the game from SoFi Stadium.

However, Kelly Stafford, wife of the quarterback, revealed their weekend suffered another scary turn of events. 

The former Super Bowl winner’s wife, Kelly, who has four children with him, including 7-year-old twins Sawyer and Chandler, Hunter who is 6, and 4-year-old Tyler, shared that she and her daughters had to be hospitalized.

The mom-of-four shared a photo to her Instagram story showing two of their daughters lying in a hospital bed. 

‘Last night was long,’ she wrote alongside the photo. ‘Back in beds and sleeping, everyone except Hunter. Feels like she drank a Celsius.’

‘Before that tho,’ she later noted in a follow-up post, ‘they were all smiles getting to go with daddy on his work trip.’ 

Although Kelly did not provide specific details about why her daughters needed medical attention, she did mention that the family had been dealing with an illness over the past week that required medical care.

‘Found our happy place in AZ. I promise we are happy, just still [ill],’ Kelly assured in another post, shared Sunday afternoon.  

Earlier this week, Kelly had suggested that she and her daughters could move out of their family home in order to protect her husband from the disease with the playoffs looming.

‘I can’t think straight, I currently believe I have the flu,’ she said on the January 7 episode of her Morning After podcast. ‘Two of my daughters have the flu.’ 

She also revealed that she felt she couldn’t move while attending the Rams game against the Seattle Seahawks last weekend. 

‘I passed out on a little bench in the suite,’ she explained. ‘We had all of our friends in town and I was a real downer. Body aches are serious.’ 

‘If all my kids have the flu, I don’t think we should be in this house with him,’ she added, speaking about the signal caller.

The Rams playoff game was moved from Los Angeles to Arizona after the league was forced into action amid the tragedy unfolding in the Californian city.

Deadly fires tore through the ritzy enclave of Pacific Palisades and rapidly spread through the City of Angels, killing five and displacing thousands, this week.

As heroic firefighters battle hellish conditions in a struggle to contain at least five different blazes – with the largest two covering 27,000 acres – neighborhoods have been reduced to ash and rubble.

Kelly, who resides in Hidden Hills with Stafford and their daughters, took to social media to share a heartbreaking message.

‘These fires are truly terrifying. Praying for all the fire fighters and their loved ones,’ the mother-of-four posted to her Instagram story. ‘Yes, homes and structures are important, but never more important than a life. Please stay safe.’

In another post, she shared a video showing the devastation the blazes have left in their wake, writing: ‘Watching this over and over because it doesn’t seem real.’
