The 2024 season is the Los Angeles Rams' 87th in the National Football League (NFL), their 88th overall, 58th in the Greater Los Angeles Area, fifth playing their home games at SoFi Stadium and eighth under head coach Sean McVay. This will be their first season since 2013 without Aaron Donald, who announced his retirement on March 15. The Rams will be searching to improve on their 10–7 record and to advance in the playoffs after being defeated in the Wild Card Round in 2023. After holding training camp for the first time at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, the Rams conducted the remainder of preseason practices at Cal Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, where the team had operated its temporary training facility since 2016 when the franchise relocated from St. Louis. This was necessitated due to delays in the construction of the Kroenke Warner Center complex in Woodland Hills. [1] Following the end of the preseason, the Rams began conducting practices at their new permanent facility. [2]
Similarly to the previous two seasons, the Rams began their season poorly with a 1–4 record, but have since won four out of their last five.

In a rematch of a 2023 Wild Card Round game, the Rams overcame a rash of injuries to rally for a 20–17 lead late in the fourth quarter before falling to the host Lions in overtime on Sunday Night Football at Ford Field. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp tied a single game career-high with 14 receptions for 110 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown from quarterback Matthew Stafford with 4:30 remaining that put Los Angeles in the lead for the first time on the night. Stafford completed 34 of 49 passes for 317 yards while wide receiver Tyler Johnson caught five passes for 79 yards. However, second-year wide receiver Puka Nacua left the game in the second quarter after catching four passes for 35 yards and did not return. Offensively, running back Kyren Williams had 18 carries for 50 yards with a 1-yard TD run but the Rams offensive line, already down two starters prior to the game, lost two more when left guard Steve Avila and left tackle Joe Noteboom were both injured and knocked out of the game. On defense, Rams safety Quentin Lake led the Rams with 10 tackles while fellow safety John Johnson had an interception. Linebackers Byron Young and Jared Verse (a rookie) each had four tackles and a sack in the loss.

Los Angeles fell to 0–2 for the first time in the Sean McVay era (and first time since 2011 when the franchise was based in St. Louis) as the host Cardinals scored touchdowns on their first three offensive possessions on the way to a 24–3 halftime lead. Arizona got its first win over the Rams franchise at State Farm Stadium since 2014, a streak that reached nine games. Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. caught four passes for 130 yards and scored twice in the first period, while his quarterback Kyler Murray completed 17 of 21 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns and a perfect passer rating while also scoring on a 4-yard TD run in the third period. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 19 of 27 passes for 216 yards but was sacked five times as Los Angeles never recovered from the big early deficit. Running back Kyren Williams (nine carries, 28 yards) scored L.A.'s only touchdown on a 4-yard run in the third quarter as the Rams were held to just 53 rushing yards. Linebacker Jared Verse had seven tackles and forced a fumble that was recovered by fellow rookie defensive tackle Braden Fiske for the Rams.

Down by 10 midway through the fourth quarter, the Rams rallied for three unanswered scores, the last coming with rookie kicker Joshua Karty converting a 37-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to secure L.A.'s first victory of the season. The home-opening win was also the Rams' first-ever regular season victory over the rival 49ers at SoFi Stadium after losses in the previous four seasons (not including L.A.'s victory over San Francisco in the 2021 NFC Championship Game) and their first home regular season win over the 49ers since 2018. Rams running back Kyren Williams ran for 89 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries and caught two passes for 27 yards, one of which was a 15-yard touchdown reception in which Williams somersaulted over 49er strong safety Talanoa Hufanga at the goal line in the second quarter for L.A.'s first points. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 16 of 26 passes for 221 yards and earned the 36th fourth quarter comeback win of his career. Wide receiver Tutu Atwell had four receptions for 93 yards for the Rams, including a 50-yard catch with under three minutes remaining that set up Williams' game tying score. Free safety Quentin Lake and linebackers Troy Reeder and Christian Rozeboom had 10 total tackles each to share the lead for the Rams, who avoided their worst start since 2011 when the team opened with six straight losses.

The Rams fell to 1-3 in a defensive battle at Soldier Field, where the franchise last won in 2003. Los Angeles took a 6-0 lead on a pair of field goals (46, 37) by rookie kicker Joshua Karty, but the host Bears went ahead in the second quarter after a strip sack of quarterback Matthew Stafford led to a 1-yard touchdown run by Chicago running back Roschon Johnson. Karty converted two more field goals (25, 52) in the second half, converting four of five attempts on the day. Running back Kyren Williams had 94 yards on 19 carries with a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Stafford completed 20 of 29 passes for 224 yards but was sacked three times and threw an interception on L.A.'s final possession. Wide receivers Tutu Atwell (four receptions, 82 yards) and Jordan Whittington (six receptions, 62 yards) also contributed to the Rams' offensive effort. Defensively, linebacker Christian Rozeboom led the Rams with 11 total tackles while rookie defensive tackle Braden Fiske earned his first career sack, one of three by L.A.'s defense on Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

Kyren Williams ran for 102 yards and a touchdown, but a pair of turnovers allowed the visiting Packers to take the lead and a late comeback attempt fell short as the Rams fell to 1-4. With the game tied at 7-7, the Rams took the lead when linebacker Byron Young hit Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love in the end zone. As he fell down, Love attempted to throw his pass away to avoid a safety, but the ball was intercepted at the Packer 4 by rookie defensive back Jaylen McCollough and returned for a touchdown. Williams scored on a 1-yard run midway through the second quarter (his eighth straight regular season game with a rushing TD), but his fumble in Packers territory on L.A.'s opening drive of the third quarter led directly to a Green Bay touchdown. Quarterback Matthew Stafford then threw an interception that the Packers capitalized on with another touchdown to take a 24-13 lead. Stafford completed 29 of 45 passes for 260 yards on the day and rallied the Rams in the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Demarcus Robinson to close the score to within 24-19. After the L.A. defense forced Green Bay to punt with just under three minutes left, Stafford guided the Rams across midfield but a sack and an incomplete pass ended L.A.'s final drive at the Packer 38 with 1:03 remaining. Rookie wide receiver Jordan Whittington caught a team-high seven passes for 89 yards while defensive end Kobie Turner had two sacks on the day while sharing the team lead in tackles (five) with safety Quentin Lake.

Coming off the bye week, a strong defensive effort kept the visiting Raiders out of the end zone as the Rams got their second victory of the season. Strong safety Kamren Curl recovered a fumble and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown to build a 14-6 lead for Los Angeles. Following a scoreless first quarter, Las Vegas took its only lead of the game on the first of five field goals by kicker Daniel Carlson. Rams running back Kyren Williams put the Rams ahead with a 13-yard touchdown run with three minutes remaining in the second period, the score being set up by an interception by cornerback Cobie Durant. On the Raiders' next possession, Durant sacked Las Vegas quarterback Gardner Minshew and forced a fumble which was picked up by Curl who took it back for a TD. Williams (21 carries, 76 yards) scored his second touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run midway through the third quarter, with this opportunity set up by rookie safety Jaylen McCollough's interception of a Minshew pass. McCollough intercepted a second pass with under 90 seconds remaining to seal the Rams' victory. Inside linebacker Troy Reeder and free safety Quentin Lake shared the team lead in tackles with nine each.

The host Rams claimed their second victory in five days, pulling away from the Vikings in the second half to improve to 3-4 on the season. Quarterback Matthew Stafford had his strongest game of the season with 279 passing yards and four touchdown passes. Bolstered by the return of previously injured wide receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles matched Minnesota touchdown for touchdown in the first half, which ended with a 14-14 score. Stafford's first TD pass came on a 5-yard pass play over the middle to running back Kyren Williams in the opening period, while the second came early in the second quarter as Stafford ducked under a ferocious Vikings pass rush before firing a pass to a sliding Kupp in the back of the end zone to tie the game. Stafford, who completed 25 of 34 passes and was not sacked, found wide receiver Demarcus Robinson for touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters. Williams added 97 rushing yards on 23 carries while scoring a TD for the 14th straight game, while Nacua made his first start since the season opener and caught seven passes for 106 yards. Defensively, the Rams held Minnesota to just a pair of field goals in the second half and sacked Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold three times, the last coming when linebacker Byron Young corralled Darnold in the end zone with 1:36 remaining in the game to seal the victory.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford's 39-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Demarcus Robinson with 4:57 remaining in overtime gave Los Angeles the victory in a wild NFC West battle at Lumen Field. Following a scoreless first quarter, the Rams took a 3-0 lead on a 38-yard field goal by rookie kicker Joshua Karty but host Seattle rallied to take a 13-3 halftime lead with two touchdown passes by quarterback Geno Smith. Robinson and Stafford connected on a 1-yard touchdown pass to finish off an 11-play, 75-yard drive to start the second half, while Karty converted a second field goal from 21 yards out to tie the score at 13-13. The Rams retook the lead when rookie free safety Kamren Kinchens intercepted Smith in the end zone and returned it 103 yards for a touchdown and a 20-13 Rams advantage. The interception return was the longest in Rams franchise history, breaking the previous record shared by Johnnie Johnson (1980 vs. Green Bay) and Janoris Jenkins (2014 vs. San Diego). Host Seattle rallied to tie the score in the final minute of regulation, then (after winning the coin toss) drove 56 yards in six plays to set up a fourth-and-1 at the L.A. 16. But Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was swarmed by the Rams defense for no gain, forcing a turnover on downs. After driving the team 44 yards in three plays to set up second-and-6 at the Seahawks 39, Stafford rolled out to his left and lofted a deep pass to the end zone, where Robinson beat the coverage of Seattle cornerback Riq Woolen and gathered in the game-winning touchdown reception with one hand. Robinson caught a season-high six receptions for 94 yards and two TDs while fellow wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught 11 passes for 104 yards and Stafford completed 25 of 44 passes for 298 yards. Defensively, Kinchens had three tackles and another interception in the fourth quarter that thwarted a Seahawks scoring opportunity, while the Rams collected seven total sacks. Rookie defensive tackle Braden Fiske had two sacks while linebacker Christian Rozeboom led L.A. with 11 total tackles as the Rams evened their season record to 4-4.

The Rams sputtered offensively and were held out of the end zone by the visiting Dolphins on Monday Night Football to end a three-game winning streak. Rookie kicker Joshua Karty converted five of six field goal attempts (two in the second quarter, three in the fourth) to account for L.A.'s scoring, but Miami took the lead on the game's opening drive and never lost their advantage. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 32 of 46 passes for 293 yards with an interception, while wide receiver Puka Nacua had nine receptions for 98 yards. Rookie inside linebacker Omar Speights recorded a team-high eight tackles while fellow rookie outside linebacker Jared Verse added four total tackles including a sack and a forced fumble.

Jared Verse | September: NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month |
The National Football League playoffs for the 1979 season began on December 23, 1979. The postseason tournament concluded with the Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl XIV, 31–19, on January 20, 1980, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
Renaldo Hill is an American football coach and former player who is the pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). He previously served as the defensive backs coach for the Denver Broncos from 2019 to 2020, the Los Angeles Chargers from 2021 to 2022. Currently in 2023 serves as an assistant defensive coach for the Miami Dolphins.
The 2001 season was the St. Louis Rams' 65th in the National Football League (NFL), their seventh in St. Louis and their second under head coach Mike Martz. The Rams improved on their 10–6 record from last year, and finished 14–2. The St. Louis Rams in 2001 set a franchise record for wins in a season (14), while also going a perfect 8–0 on the road. Quarterback Kurt Warner would go on to win his second league MVP award. Along with Warner's 1999 MVP award and Marshall Faulk's 2000 award, the Rams had amassed the last three NFL MVP awards.
The 1978 Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 41st year with the National Football League and the 33rd season in Los Angeles. They improved on their 10–4 record from the previous season and finished 12–4.
The 2009 Green Bay Packers season was the team's 91st season overall and their 89th in the National Football League (NFL). The Packers finished with an 11–5 record but lost in the wild card round of the playoffs to the Arizona Cardinals 51–45. They scored a then franchise record 461 points besting the 1996 Super Bowl team's 456. Charles Woodson was named Defensive Player of the Year for the season, leading the league with 9 interceptions.
