Los Angeles is battling against an odd time as the wildfires are ruining the city since Tuesday. Over 100,000 people were ordered to evacuate, and thousands of acres were on fire till Thursday. This massive destruction has brought fear and shock among the NFL community as well, and the most recent one to see the effect of the flames is Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly Stafford.

Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly Stafford, shared a story on her official Instagram account. Kelly dropped a beautiful video of sunset from the beaches on Thursday. But wait, the sunset which seems breathtaking is actually not beautiful at all. That’s what Mrs. Stafford realized after some time.

Sharing a new video, Kelly Stafford wrote, “It seems like such beauty until you realize it’s not a cloud, but smoke (heartbreak emoji)” in the caption. Indeed, in that video, the sunset looked stunning in the distance, with the beaches and waves making it even more beautiful. But when the realization hit that those dark clouds in the distance were actually smoke from wildfires, it comes out to be heartbreaking.

According to the reports, around 10 people died due to this fire outbreak, as many animals and people were rescued and grounded by the firefighters at safer places. Besides Kelly Stafford, others too from the NFL community were shattered to see such a disaster for the first time.

Chase Daniel, Maxx Crosby, Dan Orlovsky, Michael Irvin, Christen Harper (the fiancée of Lions quarterback Jared Goff), and even Kayla Nicole, shared their concerns for LA and the people who are impacted with this. They prayed to the GOD for the poor soul’s safety and wished that things would soon settle down without harming any further lives. Nevertheless, the wildfires have impacted a lot of residents, acres, and lives. Besides these, it has also shown its effect in the league.

Kelly Stafford’s husband & his team’s game shifted by the NFL?

The Vikings are going to play against the Rams in the wildcard game on Monday, January 13. Earlier, this matchup was scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Now, seeing the impact and spread of the wildfires, the NFL has decided to shift the game from LA to State Farm Stadium, the home of the Cardinals.

As per NFL insider, Ian Rapoport on X, “#Vikings-#Rams has been moved to Arizona.” And this “decision was made in consultation with public officials, the participating clubs and the NFLPA.” So, now the game is slated to broadcast on “ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes at its scheduled 8:00 p.m. ET time.” But what about the tickets?

Rapoport also made sure to inform the fans about the tickets, which “will go on sale at 10 a.m. PT Friday morning through Seatgeek.com for Rams Season Ticket Members and Noon PT to the general public.” In addition, the Chargers game against the Texans has also shifted to Houston due to the wildfires. This incident has surely affected many, including the games, NFL community, Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly Stafford, and others.
