Before Drew Stanton’s impressive performance against the Rams on Sunday, there had been a lot more on his mind than just football. His wife, Kristen, is overdue with the couple’s second child. From SI.com’s MMQB:
He got a text from her Sunday morning, when he’d arrived at the stadium for the game. “The text basically said, Just so you know, you might want to get home pretty quick after the game. She felt like the contractions were coming,” Stanton said.
This was an hour or so after the game, and Stanton had ducked into a Whole Foods on his way home, shopping for dinner. And champagne, in case the baby came.
As of Monday morning, there have been no immediate reports of the Stantons welcoming their new addition quite yet — though having had that in the back of his mind make the quarterback’s performance even more remarkable.
