Matthew Stafford and wife Kelly are feeling the love from Rams fans.

One day after the Rams defeated the Cardinals in a wild-card blowout, Kelly Stafford reflected on the emotions of the high-stakes night in an Instagram post.

“Love that @jazmynjones_ snapped this photo of me praying before this game.. and dang were those prayers answered.. yes I prayed for a win, but most importantly, the health of everyone on that field. After the news Budda was ok.. I realized God answered my prayers,” Kelly captioned the post, referencing Cardinals safety Budda Baker, who was recently released from the hospital following a terrifying on-field collision.

“Here’s to hoping he can answer them next week,” the mother of four continued.

In response to Tuesday’s post, the Staffords received a slew of well-wishes from fans, who celebrated the quarterback’s first-ever playoff win.

“Couldn’t be happier for you and Matthew! Let’s go RAMS! SUPER BOWL BABY!!!!!!!” one fan commented while another gushed, “Well deserved win!!! So happy for you guys!”

Stafford, who spent 12 seasons with the Lions before being traded to the Rams last January, threw for 202 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Monday’s 34-11 win.

The Rams will visit the Buccaneers on Sunday in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Leading up to Monday’s game, Kelly — who has been married to Stafford since 2015 — made a plea to Rams fans to not sell their tickets to Cardinals supporters. The request came after 49ers loyalists invaded SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where the Rams lost their final game of the regular season.

“I’m not going to lie, I have never seen so many of the opposing team’s fans at a game,” Kelly said on her podcast, “The Morning After with Kelly Stafford,” last week. “We came from Detroit, and there are a lot of good traveling teams there, but that was wild.”

With a showdown against the reigning Super Bowl champs on their turf up next, the volume will likely be cranked way up at Raymond James Stadium this weekend.
