Kelly Stafford expressed her frustration regarding the Los Angeles Rams' 2026 schedule on Instagram. The Rams will play a record seven prime-time games and travel over 34,000 miles, including games in Australia and on holidays. Stafford highlighted that the team's schedule lacks a real bye week, complicating her role as a parent to their four daughters. The Rams face challenging travel and rest conditions, ranking 27th in the NFL for prep and rest. Their season includes a match against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Eve, which negates the usual bye week advantage.
