Matthew Stafford is finally an NFL Most Valuable Player at the age of 37 and after 17 NFL seasons. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback also got to spend the special moment with his wife and kids.

Stafford is fresh off losing a heartbreaking NFC Championship Game to the Seattle Seahawks and hoped to be playing this week in the Bay Area with his team in Super Bowl LX, but he’ll settle for the next best thing in the MVP.
