History

Historical Context

After the St. Louis Rams surged from a 13-3 1999 season to win Super Bowl XXXIV (23-16) on Jan 30 2000, the franchise’s “Greatest Show on Turf” became a benchmark for dominance. Today, the Los Angeles Rams echo that legacy by re-signing All-Pro Aaron Donald and adding Myles Garrett, hoping to revive the championship-caliber defense of 1999.
