This is the Super Sunday that Matthew Stafford has only been able to see in a distance, if he could see it at all.
His college sweetheart wife, Kelly, endured a 12-hour surgery for a brain tumor nearly three years ago. There was so much for him to endure. He endured. “A guy’s guy,” Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth told The Post. “He’s one of those people that he’s not just a superstar football player, he’s full man, and he is as tough and as cold, calm and collected as there is, and wants the moment. He wants the ball in his hand, and he wants all the pressure.
“We were playing at Kentucky,” Chandler told The Post, “and we were trying to make a game-winning drive, and Matthew ran the ball on that last drive, and as he was going to the ground, he got a face-mask, and it was such a face-mask that it pulled his helmet off as he was going to the ground. And as he hit the ground, another player was coming in from Kentucky, and hit him face-mask-to-face. And it sliced the tip of his nose and cut him pretty good on the tip of his nose, busted his lip.
Chandler referenced Stafford, as a rookie in 2009, throwing a game-winning 1-yard TD pass to tight end Brandon Pettigrew against the Browns … with a separated shoulder. Stafford never wanted to be the talk of his town. Just the talk of his team. Burrow has all the nicknames, and the swag, and the bling. Stafford — the “other quarterback” — doesn’t need any nickname. Just a Lombardi Trophy.
