Kelly Stafford is throwing a flag on the NFL’s schedule.
As the Los Angeles Rams continue to hit the field during the 2026 season, quarterback Matthew Stafford‘s wife sent a pointed message to the league about the team’s calendar.
“Just curious to hear the thought process behind making the Rams the only team in the NFL without a true bye week,” Kelly wrote on her Instagram Stories Nov. 3. “Because damn, after 18 years around this league, even I need a week off during the season… and I have never played a single snap.”
The registered nurse—who shares 9-year-old twin girls Sawyer and Chandler, as well as daughters Hunter, 8, and Tyler, 6, with Matthew—may not be lacing up her cleats, but she knows when a time-out may be needed.
“I’m tired just watching from the stands,” she continued. “Can’t imagine how the guys feel.”
Although teams generally have their bye weeks after a Sunday game and don’t play again for 11 to 14 days, both the Rams and Green Bay Packers—who face off on the day before Thanksgiving (Nov. 25)—will return to the field after 10 days.
