Stafford completed 22 of his 35 passes for 374 yards and a trio of touchdowns. The 37-year-old's outing was praised by many for the amount of heart and passion that was shown.

Thanks to a video provided by his wife, Kelly. Stafford's first order of business when he returned home at 2:30 in the morning was to immediately ensure his daughters were tucked in and spend a few moments with them before going to bed.
