Thirty-Two Franchises: Los Angeles Rams

Have participated in the NFL since the 1937 season.

All-Time Record:  624-606-21 (.507)

1937-1945:  Cleveland Rams:  34-50-2 (.405)
1946-1994:  Los Angeles Rams:  364-299-18 (.549)
1995-2015:  St. Louis Rams:  142-193-1 (.424)
2016-2025:  Los Angeles Rams:  84-64-0 (.568)

St. Louis had the Cardinals from 1960 through 1987, and had the Rams from 1995 through 2015.  That's a total of 49 seasons when St. Louis had a team.  Here's how the St. Louis teams did:

1960-1987:  St. Louis Cardinals:  186-202-14 (.480)
1995-2015:  St. Louis Browns:  142-193-1 (.424)
TOTAL:  328-395-15 (.455)

If the St. Louis teams were combined into a single franchise, they would rank between the Bengals and the Panthers in terms of all-time winning percentages.  St. Louis has gone 1-1 in the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl Record:  2-3 (XXXIV, LVI) (1999, 2021)

Top Passer:  Jim Everett (23,758 yds) (Kurt Warner only played 6 seasons for the Rams; he had a record of 35-15 with 14,447 yds, 102 TD's, and 65 INT's).
Top Rusher:  Steven Jackson (10,138 yds) (Eric Dickerson only played 5 seasons for the Rams; in those seasons he ran for 7,245 yds)
Top Receiver:  Isaac Bruce (14,109 yds)
Top Coach:  Sean McVay (80 wins)

Only three teams are currently being coached by their top coach in wins.  The Rams are one of those teams.

Top All-Time Player Based on Approximate Value:  Merlin Olsen (AV of 167)
