Kelly Stafford: Football hadn't been fun for Matthew in a very long time​

Sunday was an incredible day for the Stafford family.
Kelly Stafford, wife of former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, detailed the emotions of his first game with the Los Angeles Rams in the premiere episode of her new podcast, "The Morning After with Kelly Stafford."


"I have never been so nervous for something," Kelly said. "I couldn't eat, I couldn't drink. I couldn't do anything."
The Rams' 34-14 win Sunday over the Chicago Bears was the culmination of an offseason filled with high expectations for the quarterback after a blockbuster trade sent Stafford from Detroit, who drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick in 2009, to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (9) sets to pass in the first half of the game against the Chicago Bears at SoFi Stadium on Sept. 12, 2021.
"Matthew handles this pressure far better than I do," Kelly said. "There was obviously very high expectations coming into this game and this season and he crushed it, which was so fun to watch."
Kelly, who met Matthew while they attended college at the University of Georgia, gave a look into the emotional day and also a sobering comparison to Matthew's time with the Lions.

"He looked like he was having so much fun, which I haven't seen that side of Matthew on a football field in a very long time," Kelly said.
"I felt like my husband has a renewed love for this sport again."

Kelly said she felt and saw a difference in Matthew's energy as soon as he walked onto the field and gave a fist pump, something he normally wouldn't do. It continued after the game when he did something for the first time ever.
"For the first time ever after the game, he looked up at the suite with a big smile with both hands in the air," Kelly said. "It was just an incredible thing to witness."

Kelly also revealed the text message she sent to Matthew before the game.
"Know that I understand that this is like a big leap of faith for you, but no one deserves this chance more than you, so go out, but more so go out and have some f------ fun," she said. "I felt like football hadn't been fun for him in a very long time."
Waking up the next morning after the win, Kelly asked Matthew how he was feeling.
"And he turns over and gives me like this little smirk," she said. "He's like, 'I think this is gonna be fun.'
"I hadn't seen that from Matthew in a very long time."
Kelly previously teased her podcast on social media, saying she would discuss Matthew's games, but that each episode would center around the morning after a different event or experience.
Other moments in this week's episode include what she misses and won't miss most about Detroit. There are also guest appearances from the woman NBC incorrectly identified as Matthew's wife during the "Sunday Night Football" broadcast and WDIV-TV (Channel 4) reporter and family friend Hank Winchester.

Kelly also teased that Matthew will eventually make an appearance on the show.

I think the way he ran down the field after that first bomb to Jefferson spoke volumes.

Hard to imagine his debut going any better than it did.

 

[Ram_Rally]

Makes you even more amazed at this guy honestly. You mean to tell me that he went out there no matter what injury and no matter what circumstance and played his heart out despite not loving the game because of the team he was playing for?! That's a dedication and leadership right there.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Just tell Brenda not to step out of line. . . .

 

[Psycho_X]

It was awesome listening to that and realize how much this opportunity is meaning to this family after years of depressed football. Plus, a guest appearance by Mathew's second wife.

 

[Merlin]

He's been through a lot. Really happy for him but also for AD and Ramsey and Kupp and Woody... We have a ton of guys who are DUE to hoist the Lombardi. I just pray this is the year man.

Matthew Stafford deflects praise after stellar Week 1 performance

Matthew Stafford still sees room for improvement after his 321-yard game against the Bears, deflecting praise to his teammates.

Did not listen but wondering if she mentioned NBC identifying another woman as Stafford's wife?

She sat next to Kelly for the entire podcast. Turns out she has been one of her best friends since high school. Kelly again called her wife # 2.

She sat next to Kelly for the entire podcast. Turns out she has been one of her best friends since high school.

OH, that was the woman? Had no idea. Thanks.

 

[Florida_Ram]

Enjoyed Kelly's revision and experiences of our QB's first game prior, during and after.

When she said that she told him before the game to go out and have some "fucking fun", my mouth dropped.

That is how a wife fires up her husband before a pressure filled moment is about to unfold.

Go Stafford Family!


GO 2021 Los Angeles RAMS!!

 

[RamFan503]

I wouldn't normally listen to a football player's wife's post game stuff but I can't wait to listen to this one. She seems so grounded and fun. Pretty easy to love this aquisition and be happy for the whole family.

 

[btfd16]

She looks like a ex girlfriend so this is weird.... but awesome insight and seem like an awesome friend group.

 

[FarNorth]

I wouldn't normally listen to a football player's wife's post game stuff but I can't wait to listen to this one. She seems so grounded and fun. Pretty easy to love this aquisition and be happy for the whole family.

It really didn't take a podcast from his wife to see how happy Stafford was after the game.

I thought before that for the past several months Stafford looked, at best, wary and cautious and, at worst, downtrodden. (Who wouldn't after his experience in Detroit?) Like he was afraid to hope or smile too much. As if the rug could be pulled out from under him at any time.

It's good to see him enjoying himself. And it's a really good sign for the team.

Same thing with McVay, who looked very frustrated much of last year.

Positive energy is a really powerful thing. Stafford, McVay and the Rams got it going now.

 

[CoachAllred]

So happy for Matthew. I feel just like his wife.
If anybody deserves to be part of a winner. It's Matthew.
Give em hell Matty

 

[Jacobarch]

It's hard not to root for this guy. I hope he takes it all the way the year.

 

[Ramhusker]

Enjoyed that! Feel like us at ROD could fall right up in there with that group and get this Super Bowl
party started!!!! This IS going to be fun Sir Matthew!!!!

 

[12intheBox]

It's hard not to root for this guy. I hope he takes it all the way the year.

I believe you are not alone on this forum in that hope.

 

[Corbin]

WTF? Did Stafford go after sloppy seconds from Russel Wilson?
