History

Historical Context

The Rams rose from a 13-3, worst-to-first 1999 season that earned them Super Bowl XXXIV under coach Dick Vermeil and quarterback Kurt Warner. That resilience echoes in 2024 as the Rams confront injuries yet still pressure the Giants on 20 of 34 dropbacks and maintain their reputation for a strong pass rush.
