This season has been something else for the St. Louis Rams. Thanks to a dramatic overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, they're now 4-0-1 against teams in the NFC West, but they've won just one game outside the division. While the playoffs may not be in the ...

After 75 minutes of tough, hard-nosed, NFC West football, the San Francisco 49ers and the St. Louis Rams played to the first tie game in the NFL since 2008. For St. Louis, it's a game that can either be looked at as a missed opportunity or a game that can ...

The St. Louis Rams appeared to be headed in the right direction under coach Steve Spagnuolo after they won seven games in his second season. Instead, thanks in part to injuries, they crumbled back to Point A last season, going just 2-14 and forcing the ouster of their head coach. ...

The 2011 NFL season is over and done with for the St. Louis Rams, and following last year's encouraging 7-9 campaign, the Rams have to be considered one of the league's bigger disappointments. St. Louis won just two games, a huge step back after taking two big steps forward in ...

In the eyes of many fans and analysts at the outset of the 2011 NFL season, the St. Louis Rams seemed like a sexy pick to build upon their turnaround season in 2010 to make a run towards the playoffs in the wide-open NFC West. Quarterback Sam Bradford had a ...

Of the 32 NFL teams, the most intriguing one in my mind heading into the season might be the St. Louis Rams. After a 1-15 season in 2009, they drafted Sam Bradford with the No. 1 pick and he helped lead them to a 7-9 finish last year. Say what ...
