Matthew Stafford's Wife Kelly: Lions Fans' Proposed Jersey Ban Against Rams QB 'Sad'

There will surely be plenty of strange emotions for Detroit Lions fans during Sunday's playoff game, as it is the team's first home postseason contest since the 1994 campaign but will come against a franchise legend.

Matthew Stafford's Los Angeles Rams will be the opponent, and the quarterback's wife, Kelly, believes it is "sad" that at least one Lions fan attempted to organize a ban of Detroit fans wearing his jersey for Sunday's contest.

As TMZ Sports detailed, a fan wrote the following on Instagram: "ANNOUNCEMENT. Please don't wear a Lions-Stafford jersey to the game. This is not a time to be cute or funny."

Kelly Stafford responded by saying, "Well this is sad because it's the completely opposite of how we feel about this city, but Matthew has always been the bigger person and will continue to be that. Praying for an incredible game with zero injuries."

For what it's worth, the fan wrote back and said, "We love Matthew, just not this week."

Stafford played for the Lions from 2009 through 2020 and threw for more than 4,000 yards eight different times. He even led the franchise to the playoffs three times, which was no easy task given the organization's history.

He remains a popular figure among the fanbase even after he was traded to the Rams and won a Super Bowl in Los Angeles, but the Detroit supporters will surely be cheering against him Sunday.

Even if some of them wear his jersey.
