Rams QB Matthew Stafford embraces his brain tumor survivor wife Kelly and their daughters after leading team to a 23-20 Super Bowl win over the Bengals in LA with dramatic 79-yard drive

t was less than three years ago that Stafford's wife, Kelly, was diagnosed with a brain tumor that threatened to jeopardize their happy life in Detroit, where he was playing at the time. A mother to the couple's three daughters, the 29-year-old Kelly thought she was battling vertigo before her shocking diagnosis.  

The 12-hour surgery was a success, but recovery was painful as Kelly effectively had to re-learn to walk once the benign tumor had been removed. Ultimately, in June of 2020, she welcomed their fourth daughter, Tyler, who was in attendance for a post-game family hug on the SoFi Stadium turf Sunday night. 

And Kelly's successful surgery was only the beginning of a major turnaround for the couple, who began dating when they were students at the University of Georgia.  

Stafford, the first pick of the 2009 NFL Draft, had always been known as a top quarterback with a bad supporting cast over a dozen years with the hapless Detroit Lions. The Rams, meanwhile, made it to the Super Bowl with solid-but-unspectacular quarterback Jared Goff three years earlier and saw their offense as lacking in 2019 and 2020.  

So, in a preseason move that now looks nothing short of prophetic, LA traded Goff, two first-round picks, and a third-rounder to Detroit for Stafford. 

The rest, as the football-loving world found out on Sunday, is history. :snip:
