Kelly Stafford is reflecting on the past NFL season — and “wondering” about the future.
In a post on Instagram, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford shared a carousel of photos from the team’s game on Sunday, Jan. 19 against the Philadelphia Eagles, which they lost 28-22.
“Aren't enough words to express how proud I am,” Stafford, 35, wrote. “I joke about us being old and tired but honestly I could never get tired of watching you out there or watching our girls cheer for their daddy.”
She concluded, “I'm wondering if this is the end or not... guess we will find out.”
In the images, Kelly and Matthew’s daughters — twins Sawyer and Chandler, 7, Harper, 6, and Tyler, 4 — happily pose with their mom and dad along the sidelines at the game, which knocked the Rams out of their quest for a Super Bowl championship.
Now, as the team enters the offseason and weeks before Matthew’s 37th birthday on Feb. 7, Kelly is eyeing her family’s next steps.

The signal-caller, who has played 16 seasons in the league since being drafted No. 1 by the Detroit Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft, told reporters after Sunday's loss that he would "take some time to think about” his future.
“But I feel like I was playing some pretty good ball," Stafford said, and later added that he “feels like” he has more football left in him.

While the Staffords mull their future, the family is also looking back on the playoff run that saw Kelly and the girls battling the flu — while still trying to be good fans and traveling to Arizona for a playoff game on the team plane — earlier this month.
“We were sick on that flight,” Kelly said on the Jan. 15 episode of her podcast The Morning After. “There was a huge guilt factor to me going, ‘Should we be on this plane right now because of everyone surrounding us and everyone who has to play this game?’ ”
The family — minus Matthew — ended up in the hospital in Arizona before making a full recovery.
