On Sunday, the 49ers defeated the Raiders by a narrow margin, but for the family of Las Vegas quarterback Jarrett Stidham, it was a victory in every way.
Sunday on her Instagram Stories, Kennedy Stidham wrote a heartfelt tribute to her husband, who earned his first career start after veteran quarterback Derek Carr was benched by Raiders coach Josh McDaniels earlier in the week.
“So. Above and above. No matter the circumstances, We adore you,” Kennedy wrote, noting mentioning the couple’s newborn daughter.

Kennedy, who has been married to Stidham, 26, since 2019, supported him at Allegiant Stadium during the Raiders’ 37-34 overtime loss, where he passed for 365 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. During a controversial call, she was featured on the CBS program.
Stidham received a great deal of support from his Raiders teammates, notably wide receiver Davante Adams, despite the loss.
“I believe every single team member exclaimed, ‘Man, get out of here with that! You went out and did your thing,’” Adams reportedly told ESPN.

McDaniels also praised Stidham, whom he acquired through a trade with his previous Patriots squad in May 2022.
McDaniels stated after the game, “Jarrett had a fantastic week of work.” “He understands what to do; he’s been a part of our system for a very long time and has a firm hold on it. Understands how to proceed. I believed he did a number of things correctly today. Provided our players with opportunities to make plays down the field.”
