Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, has been spotted enjoying a sun-drenched holiday in Mexico with friends, mere days after her husband suffered a stunning Week 13 defeat on the gridiron.
A Sunny Escape After a Rain-Soaked Loss
The trip served as a celebratory escape for the birthday of her close friend, Jess Clausen, who is married to former Notre Dame and NFL quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Stafford and a group of girlfriends descended upon Cabo San Lucas to mark Clausen's 40th birthday, a stark contrast to the conditions during the Rams' previous game.
Just this past Sunday, Kelly was in North Carolina watching as her husband's team fell in a shock 31-28 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The game was played in cold, rain-soaked conditions, culminating in a critical Matthew Stafford fumble during the fourth quarter.
Celebrations in Cabo
Sharing multiple snaps to her social media accounts, Kelly Stafford showcased her toned physique in a bikini, beaming alongside her friends. The images depicted a fun-filled itinerary including fishing trips on a boat, tennis, and other leisure activities.
"Celebrating you is easy @jessclausen," Stafford wrote in one affectionate caption accompanying the pictures. She added, "Happy birthday to one of my best friends, may this be the best decade yet ❤️❤️❤️."
Matthew Stafford's Reaction to the Defeat
Despite the high-profile nature of the loss, Matthew Stafford has indicated he has already moved on from the poor result. Speaking to media members, the seasoned quarterback stated that dealing with such setbacks "just feels like it comes easy to me."
He elaborated, "It doesn't mean that I don't care about each and every single one of them and do everything I can to try and help us win each and every one of them. But I do know that, unless it's the last game of the year, there's another one coming, and you better be ready for it."
The Rams will now aim to rebound in their next fixture against the injured Arizona Cardinals, hoping to put the disappointing Week 13 performance firmly behind them.
