It was a bad look. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford appeared not to care that a photographer fell off a stage as she was trying to document the team’s Super Bowl rally Wednesday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The video of Stafford looking down at the woman, appearing to say “Oh, my God” to his shocked wife, Kelly, walking away and then continuing to drink from a water bottle went viral.
The woman, Kelly Smiley, tweeted Wednesday night that she suffered a fractured spine and her cameras broke. She didn’t say whether the Staffords eventually offered assistance.

Smiley’s Twitter profile says she is a photo editor for the NFL, NBA and NHL. It is not clear whether she was working for the NFL at the rally.
