The NFL is set to make history with a game on the night before Thanksgiving, featuring the Los Angeles Rams hosting the Green Bay Packers on November 25 at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix. However, this unique Wednesday matchup has raised concerns, particularly from Kelly Stafford, wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.

In a recent Instagram post, Kelly criticized the NFL for placing the Rams at a scheduling disadvantage. She expressed her frustration stating, "Just curious to hear the thought process behind making the Rams the only team in the NFL without a true bye week."

Typically, NFL teams enjoy a 14-day break between games during their bye week. However, the Rams will only have 10 days off, with their schedule leading up to the Thanksgiving game looking like this:

• Week 10 (Nov. 15): at Cardinals (Sunday)
• Week 11 (Nov. 22): BYE
• Week 12 (Nov. 25): Packers (Wednesday)
• Week 13 (Dec. 3): Chiefs (Thursday)

In contrast, the Packers will play their games over a 19-day stretch, giving them a slightly more favorable schedule:

• Week 10 (Nov. 15): Vikings (Sunday)
• Week 11 (Nov. 22): BYE
• Week 12 (Nov. 25): at Rams (Wednesday)
• Week 13 (Dec. 6): at Saints (Sunday)

Kelly noted the exhaustion that players might feel, stating, "I'm tired just watching from the stands. Can't imagine how the guys feel." She concluded her post by requesting an explanation from the NFL regarding the Rams' predicament.

The Rams' schedule this season is notably hectic, with a Wednesday game and a Christmas Day matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. If they play on Saturday in Weeks 17 or 18, they would become just the fourth team in 99 years to compete on six different days of the week in a single season.

Despite the challenges, the Rams will be able to spend Thanksgiving with their families, providing a silver lining to their unusual schedule.
