Matthew Stafford, Wife Kelly Explain Reaction to Photographer's Fall at SB Parade

Los Angeles Rams star Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, addressed their reactions to Kelly Smiley's fall from the stage of the Rams' Super Bowl celebration.

Video of the incident quickly went viral, in no small part because Stafford quickly walked away after watching Smiley fall.

"Matthew looked at me and said, 'Check her please,' and turned around," Kelly said on her podcast, The Morning After (via TMZ Sports).

Stafford was also apologetic and said he had reached out to Smiley after the fact: "That obviously happened really quickly and suddenly and unexpectedly, and I wish I had a better reaction in the moment.
