GLENDALE, Ariz. — Los Angeles Rams and former University of Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly had a scare this weekend when their daughters were rushed to the hospital.

The couple, who met at UGA, have four daughters: 7-year-old twins Sawyer and Chandler, 6-year-old Hunter and 4-year-old Tyler.

On Saturday, Kelly Stafford posted on social media Saturday a photo of two of their daughters in a hospital bed.

“Last night was long,” Kelly wrote on her Instagram story. “Back in beds and sleeping, everyone except Hunter. Feels like she drank a Celsius.”

The Staffords were released sometime Saturday night or Sunday morning. Kelly posted an update on her Instagram story Sunday showing her and the girls eating at a Waffle House in Arizona, where the Rams will play in the NFC Wild Card Game on Monday night.

NFL officials moved the Rams game against the Minnesota Vikings to State Farm Stadium due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles County.

Matthew and Kelly Stafford rented buses to get groups of Rams season-ticket holders to Glendale for the game. The team will also wear Los Angeles Fire Department hats and T-shirts on the sidelines during the game.

“It’s a tough thing to watch on the news, to be around and to see driving around. It’s really sad to see what’s going on,” Stafford said on Thursday. “A bunch of people [are] doing everything they possibly can to try to get things under control and get people back to normal as quickly as possible. I’m thinking about and feeling for a bunch of people that have been affected all across the city.”
