Kelly Stafford blames NFL for 'nightmare' 4 days after Matthew Stafford had false positive for COVID-19

For Kelly Stafford, the thought that husband Matthew had COVID-19 was just part of a “nightmare” four days.

Matthew Stafford, the Detroit Lions’ starting quarterback, went on the team’s reserve/COVID-19 list. He might have been the most high-profile player to date to go on the list. As a result, everyone assumed Stafford had been exposed.

The relief of finding out Stafford had a false positive and was taken off the list was overshadowed by the poor treatment Kelly Stafford says she and her family endured for a few days. And she blamed the NFL for it.
