Stafford, who is one of the most private athletes we have ever covered, opened up a bit, saying how much he misses his family after being forced to quarantine this week.
“Doesn’t make it easy. I just hate being away from my family. Finish a practice, finish a game, go hug my daughters, hug my wife. That’s what sometimes makes it worth it for me.”
Matthew Stafford says he understands the league's COVID-19 protocol, but adds: "Doesn't make it easy. I just hate being away from my family. Finish a practice, finish a game, go hug my daughters, hug my wife. That’s what sometimes makes it worth it for me."

Stafford added that he feels blessed to be playing football and blessed that he has a job when there are many people who do not right now.
Even after a loss, Matthew Stafford is pure class.
I don’t understand how Detroit has a good Quarterback,running back,wide receivers
But a sorry Head Coach,he acts as if he is not the problem.
His program hasn’t worked at all his defensive scheme doesn’t work ,his offensive scheme doesn’t the games that they have won, is because the players coached theirselves and pulled it off,Detroit needs a Coach…….period get rid of the bum they got
