The Los Angeles Rams finished the 2024 regular season 10-7 and claimed the division on strength-of-victory. The season began with significant offensive injury issues, notably to Puka Nacua, leading to an overtime loss to the Lions and a heavy defeat to the Cardinals. The Rams narrowly beat the 49ers at home but then lost at Chicago after Matthew Stafford turnovers and suffered a similar loss to Green Bay, leaving the team 1-4 entering the bye. The team recovered enough to contend late and challenge Philadelphia in the playoffs, but the early collapse undermines claims of clean momentum.
Some people are fans of the Los Angeles Rams. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Los Angeles Rams. This 2025 Defector NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far . Your team: Los Angeles Rams, the only sports franchise in history dumb enough to leave Southern California for Saint Louis. Zero points for having the sense to move back.
Your 2024 record: 10-7, tied for first in the NFC with Seattle, though the Rams stole the division title on the fifth tiebreaker (strength of victory). The coward's tiebreaker! The popular narrative of the Rams' season is that, following an injury-plagued early-season stumble, the team emerged as an NFC contender and provided the Eagles their toughest playoff test on Philly's otherwise smooth road to the championship, which has them poised to contend once again this year.
