Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly slams NFL refs in 'petty' post after Rams shocker

The Los Angeles Rams lost a brutal NFC West showdown to the Seattle Seahawks in overtime. After the game, the refs were a subject that included quarterback Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly slamming them.

The Rams blew a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter with the potential No. 1 overall seed in the NFC on the line, losing 38-37 in a thrilling game in Seattle.

Right after the game, Rams receiver Puka Nacua went viral when he slammed the refs for the game on X and then deleted the post, to which the league fined him $25,000 for.

Stafford was brilliant in defeat, throwing for 457 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough as Sam Darnold and the Seahawks found a way.

Like Nacua, Kelly called out the refs: “Never seen refs get this excited about a catch? 🤔 Now the blown dead two-point conversion and illegal man downfield makes sense. Should we be looking into this? Can I get these refs’ names?”

This is the play Kelly was talking about in OT when former Rams star Cooper Kupp made a ridiculous sideline catch vs. his old team and the female ref had a little more spirit than typical behind the catch call.

That female ref seemed a little too excited. 😂

Kelly would later call herself “petty” about it.

The Rams now don’t control their playoff destiny as the Seahawks can win out and get the No. 1 seed, or the San Francisco 49ers can do the same. A lot has to go their way for the Rams now to get the bye.

The refs or not, they still blew a 15+ fourth-quarter lead — a comeback before Thursday night the Seahawks never made in the team’s history.
