A regular season game was played on Tuesday, the last until the 2010 season, on October 1, between New York and Boston.
The 1950 NFL season was the 31st regular season of the National Football League. The merger with the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) expanded the league to 13 teams.

The Washington Redskins became the second team to put their games on TV. Other teams arranged to have selected games televised.

The 1950 National Football League playoffs took place after the 1950 regular season ended with a tie for first place in both the American and National conferences. The ties forced one-game playoffs to determine who would play in the NFL championship game. It was the only time in the NFL's championship game era that two such tiebreaker playoff games were needed in the same year. The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants tied for first place in the American Conference, while the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams tied for first place in the National Conference. The Browns proceeded to beat the Giants 8–3, and the Rams beat the Bears 24–14 in their playoff game. Cleveland then beat the Rams in the championship game the following week. The home teams won all three games in this postseason.

The 1990 Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 53rd year with the National Football League and 45th season in Los Angeles. On November 11, 1990, Marcus Dupree made his NFL debut against the New York Giants. The Rams, temporarily playing in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, looked to improve on their 11–5 season from 1989 and make the playoffs for the third consecutive season and be possible contenders for the Super Bowl. However, the Rams would struggle all season, starting 1–4 before winning two of their next three games before losing their next two as they dipped to a 3–7 record. After a win over Cleveland, the Rams upset the 49ers 28–17 in San Francisco to improve to 5–7. However, this would be perhaps the only good highlight of the season for the Rams. After defeating the 49ers, they ended the season on a 4 game losing streak and finished with a disappointing 5–11 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 1987 and only the fourth time since 1972.
The 1989 Los Angeles Rams season was the franchise's 52nd season in the National Football League, their 42nd overall, and their 44th in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

The 1984 Los Angeles Rams season was the franchise's 47th season in the National Football League, their 48th overall, and their 39th in the Greater Los Angeles Area. The Rams looked to improve on their 9–7 record from 1983 and make the playoffs for the second consecutive season and 10th in the last 12. They improved on their record by one game, going 10–6, good enough for second place in the NFC West behind the 15–1 San Francisco 49ers. In the playoffs, the Rams lost a low-scoring game to the New York Giants at home, 16–13. During this season, second-year running back Eric Dickerson set the NFL record for most rushing yards in a season, with 2,105 yards.
The 1989 New York Giants season was the franchise's 65th season in the National Football League. After going 10–6 and suffering a heartbreaking final-day elimination from playoff contention in 1988, the team went 12–4 and won the NFC East. The Giants lost a heartbreaker to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional playoffs.
