The Stafford family is having a rough week.
Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, shared on social media Friday that her family was dealing with a lice outbreak — a revelation that came a day after the Rams suffered a stunning overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.

Kelly and her four daughters, who were in Seattle to watch the Seahawks overcome a 16-point deficit to win the NFC West showdown 38-37, received treatment for the attack, which Kelly documented on her Instagram Stories.

“In the meantime, we’re all getting rid of lice. Happy Friday,” she said in a post.
“An hour and a half later. So many insects, so many eggs.”
Kelly also spoke about the situation, writing, “Hopefully it’s gone. But honestly, the removal process feels incredible.”
Kelly also shared a video of one of the disturbing insects being removed, noting in a separate post that the family was already “on hour number 4.”

RAMS STAR PUKA NACUA FINED BY NFL AFTER RENEWED REFEREE CRITICISM AND CLOSE LOSS TO SEAHAWKS
She didn’t say if her NFL husband also received treatment for the lice infestation, but shared a video of “Fathers turning to get checked.”
The lice attack only added to a difficult week for Stafford, who suffered a stunning overtime loss to Seattle after quarterback Sam Darnold connected with a wide-open Eric Saubert to successfully complete the 2-point conversion and win the game.
In addition to blowing a lead, the Rams have been in the off-field spotlight after star receiver Puka Nacua became the center of controversy over a gesture he made on an Internet live stream that played on anti-Semitic tropes.

Nacua apologized before Thursday’s game, and the NFL issued a statement condemning “all forms of discrimination and derogatory behavior directed at any group or individual.”
Nacua was also fined $25,000 by the league for comments he made earlier this week about officiating.
