Stafford's wife, Kelly, said on a recent installment of her podcast that she won't be attending the game for mental health after she said she and her daughters were the subject of booing during the playoff game last year.

"I do understand making sure the fact that your kids are safe. That's always as a parent your number one priority. But you also should have known the tone of everything knowing how your husband left us," Thomas said.

"Some things that she said prior to in the media has caused some people to have an issue with her. And if she doesn't come it'll be okay," Polk added.
