Stafford, Rams quarterback’s wife Matthew Staffordrevealed that she has been battling a nasty illness with the NFL playoffs around the corner.
“I can’t think straight,” Kelly said on Tuesday, January 7 “morning after” a podcast. “I think I have the flu at the moment. Two of my daughters have the flu.”
Things are so bad, Kelly explained, that “she couldn’t move yesterday” when she attended the Rams’ regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, January 5.
“I passed out on a little bench in the suite,” Kelly noted. “We had all our friends in town and I was very depressed.”
Because of his illness, Kelly said her husband Matthew “will not be near me, and I completely understand that.”
So, with that in mind, Kelly said she was ready to pack her bags. “If all my kids get the flu, I don’t think we should be in this house with him,” she said.
Kelly got ahead of the criticism and explained why she would be a her four daughters – twins Sawyer a Chandler7, A hunter6, s Tyler4 — who would move out instead of Matthew.
“I know everyone’s like, ‘Why would you all move? There are 5 of you and 1 of him,’” he said. “Because of all his work stuff and his film room and everything is here. So we would get out of here. I think that’s on the table right now.”
Kelly added, “We’ve got 105 fever going around this house right now and we can’t have Matthew with that in the playoffs. So we’re going to do our best not to let him have that. “
The Rams will be hosting the Vikings at SoFi Inglewood Stadium on Monday, January 13. Despite Minnesota having a 14-3 record, Los Angeles, which finished the season 10-7, gets to play at home by virtue of winning the NFC West.
Kelly didn’t have time to listen to any critics who argued against the NFL’s seeding practices, which gave the Rams home field advantage in the first round.
“I don’t really understand the complaints,” he said. “Your team made the playoffs. If they’re good enough to win the Super Bowl, they should win the Super Bowl.”
Given their record, Kelly told Vikings fans “you shouldn’t have any problem with us,” before adding, “But you’re going to have a problem with us, just saying.”
The Rams-Vikings Wild Card game begins Monday, January 13 at 8 pm ET on ABC and ESPN.
