History

Historical Context

After the Rams leapt from last place in 1998 to a 13-3, worst-to-first season that culminated in a 23-16 Super Bowl XXXIV victory in January 2000, the franchise built a reputation for pairing high-powered offenses with elite pass rushers. That legacy resurfaces in 2026 as the Los Angeles Rams acquire Myles Garrett, a 23-sack defender, aiming to repeat the cap-flexible formula.
