The Stafford family is having a rough week. 
Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, shared on social media Friday that her family was dealing with a lice outbreak  a revelation that came a day after the Rams suffered a stunning overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. 
Kelly and her four daughters, who were in Seattle to witness the Seahawks overcome a 16-point deficit to win the NFC West showdown 38-37, received treatment for the infestation, which Kelly documented on her Instagram Stories. 
"Meanwhile we are all in lice removal process. 
Happy Friday," she said in a post. 
"An hour and a half later.. So many bugs, so many eggs." 
Kelly also shared a silver lining to the situation, posting, "Hopefully itƒ?Ts gone. 
But honestly the removal process feels incredible." 
Kelly also shared a video of one of the disturbing insects that was removed, and noted in a separate post that the family was already "on hour number 4." 
She did not say if her NFL husband was also receiving treatment for the lice infestation, but did share a video of "Dads turn to get checked." 
The lice infestation only added to a difficult week for Stafford who suffered a stunning loss to Seattle in overtime after quarterback Sam Darnold connected with a wide-open Eric Saubert to successfully complete the 2-point conversion and win the game. 
In addition to a blown lead, the Rams have been under the spotlight off the field after star receiver Puka Nacua became the center of controversy over a gesture he performed on an internet livestream that played upon antisemitic tropes. 
Nacua apologized before Thursdayƒ?Ts game, and the NFL issued a statement condemning "all forms of discrimination and derogatory behavior directed towards any group or individual." 
Nacua was also fined $25,000 by the league for comments he previously made during the week about officiating.
