Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, brought some Christmas cheer to two grieving families Wednesday.

The Staffords brought Christmas gifts to the families of two slain Detroit police officers. It is the couple’s Christmas tradition to bring gifts to a couple of families in need every year.

The former University of Georgia quarterback is making DAWG fans proud. What a great gesture from him and his wife. Thank you Matt for being a hero. (I'm shocked the NFL hasn't told them to stop)

Not all of the NFL players are jackasses like Crapperdork. God bless Matthew and Kelly Stafford.

Proud to be a DAWG. Class of 89

Didn’t get to see Herschel, but saw Bo Jackson between the hedges.

That’s the best news that my Lions have had in 51 years of the Super Bowl era. I salute you, Matt and family!

For Christmas we ask our children to pick an angel off the church Angel Tree and provide gifts for that child instead of us. It’s been a good tradition for us and is a win-win situation in the feel good department.

Roger Goodell angered by this gesture. Stafford should expect a fine.
