Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly Stafford, doesn't want to see a repeat of what happened in Week 18 at SoFi Stadium when her husband and the Los Angeles Rams play the Arizona Cardinals in the Wild Card weekend.

To recall, the Rams hosted the San Francisco 49ers at home for their final regular season game. However, instead of getting homecourt advantage, the LA franchise was met with a sea of red cheering for the visiting team. Simply put, the home fans didn't show up and it looked like Stafford and Co. were the visitors in their own turf.

The Rams QB, in fact, admitted that it was a “tough environment” to be in since they were not able to communicate properly, especially in the second half–something that you only normally hear from visiting players.

“We had a chance there at the end of the game. I thought our guys did a good job communicating. It was a tough environment for us to communicate in, really, the whole second half,” Stafford said,  via Rams communication.

Los Angeles ended up losing to the 49ers in overtime, 27-24. With that said, Kelly Stafford sent a plea to Rams fans NOT to sell their tickets to Arizona fans for the Wild Card game this Monday. After all, if they can't attend the game, that's the least thing home fans can do to help the team.

For what it's worth, though, Rams fans are expected to show up for the Monday Night Football showdown. The Week 18 game was pretty much meaningless, so there was no reason for the fans to watch.

However, with their Super Bowl hopes on the line, it's safe to assume Matthew Stafford and Co. won't have to worry about visiting fans dominating in their own turf.
