History of the Rams

The St. Louis Rams have a long and storied history in the NFL, dating back to their founding in 1937 as the Cleveland Rams. The team was one of the original members of what is now known as the National Football League (NFL). They played their first game against fellow expansion team Philadelphia Eagles on September 26th, 1937, and went on to win that game 35-10.

Throughout their time in Cleveland they had some success making it all way to three championship games, but unfortunately never won any titles during this period. In 1945 they moved westward becoming part of Los Angeles’s rich sports culture joining teams like the Dodgers and Lakers who were already established there at that time.

During this era from 1946-1994 when they were based out of LA, The Rams experienced much more success than before with 11 division championships along with five conference championships leading up to Super Bowl XIV where sadly lost 31–19 against Pittsburgh Steelers. Even though there wasn't a championship title won by them during these years, they still made an impact on football fans throughout America due largely because of legendary players such as Jack Youngblood, and Eric Dickerson among many others.

In 1995 after almost 60 years since leaving Ohio for California, the franchise again relocated -this time moving eastward towards Missouri landing at St Louis where it has been ever since then until 2016 when yet another move happened taking them home back into sunny Los Angeles once more! This new chapter started off well enough for them to make playoffs twice over the next few seasons but nothing beyond that could be achieved thus far despite having great individual talents like Todd Gurley II or Jared Goff playing under center. Only the future will tell if good fortune awaits them upon return West Coast!
