History of the Rams Football TeamThe history of the Rams was not always set in St. Louis as most of you already know . In 1937, a group of business executives decided they wanted a local football team, so they built a 3,000-person stadium in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. They held tryouts for players who wanted to play on the team. In the Rams' first season, they went 1-10-0. I know what you're thinking, they always stink, but that's not true. In the Rams' 67-year history, they have won 3 NFL championships. They have won 11 division championships as well as numerous wild card berths.

In 1978, the NFL expanded to a 16-game season and the Rams went 12-4-0, advanced to the championships and lost to the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 28-0. The Rams won their 7th division title in 1979 with a 9-7-0 record. They beat the Dallas Cowboys 21-19 in the playoffs and won the conference title by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9-0. In their first Super Bowl, the Rams took a 19-17 lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth quarter, but gave up two touchdowns and lost by a score of 31-19.
