Matthew Stafford led the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl LVI victory in his first year with the franchise on Feb. 13, but the Stafford family endured an arduous 12-year journey in Detroit to get there. Nonetheless, they are grateful for the experience and the toughness it instilled in them.

Following the Rams comeback victory in the NFC Championship game over the San Francisco 49ers, Stafford’s wife Kelly Hall came onto the field and surprised Stafford by jumping on him for a long, emotional embrace. The joyous, tearful embrace ended as Stafford stated that his work was not done.
