Matthew Stafford's wife calls out NFL for Rams' lack of a true bye week

No team has a more unique schedule than the Los Angeles Rams this season. They started the year playing in Australia on “Thursday Night Football,” and will also play on Wednesday and Friday nights before the season ends.

When the Rams play the Packers on Thanksgiving Eve, it will come after a bye week, but that means they won’t get a full break like most teams do when they play on Sunday, then have a week off, and play the following Sunday.

Instead, the Rams will play on Sunday, then the following Wednesday, followed by a Thursday night game the next week. Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly, recently posted on Instagram calling out the NFL for its scheduling. She argues the Rams are the "only team in the NFL without a true bye week."

The second half of the Rams' schedule gets difficult, as they'll face the Packers, Chiefs and 49ers in consecutive weeks after the bye, with that matchup against San Francisco coming off a short week. Two of their final three games are against the Seahawks, as well, with the first meeting coming on Christmas night, which is a Friday.

The NFL wanted the Rams in the spotlight as much as possible by giving them a league-high seven prime-time games, and they're certainly going to feel the effects of it down the stretch.
