After playing in St. Louis since 1995, the Rams’ 2015 was their final season in Missouri’s second largest city.
Leaving St. Louis
When the Rams initially moved to St. Louis from Los Angeles, they signed a lease to play in what was originally called The Dome at America’s Center (the venue would later give naming rights to Trans World Airlines and later Edward Jones Investments). As part of the lease, the Rams and the city agreed that the Dome needed to be ranked in the top tier of NFL stadiums through at least 2015, with the Rams retaining the right to break their lease if the Dome did not meet the criteria. St. Louis was responsible for making any renovations necessary to reach that level, but they were not enough.
Talks began about the Rams’ potential relocation shortly thereafter, and their former home city of Los Angeles was a prime target. Rams owner Stan Kroenke owner a significantly large piece of property in Inglewood, California near Hollywood Park, and word was that he wanted to build a new stadium on the land. St. Louis did try to keep the Rams in the city with a new stadium proposal, but this was rejected and Kroenke would apply for relocation to Los Angeles for 2016. His bid was approved, leaving St. Louis once again without an NFL team.[1]

Compensatory selection |
Draft trades
- The Rams traded their original fourth- and sixth-round selections (Nos. 109 and 184 overall, respectively) to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for safety Mark Barron.
- The Rams traded quarterback Sam Bradford and their fifth-round selection (No. 145 overall) to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for quarterback Nick Foles, the Eagles' fourth-round selection (No. 119 overall) and the Eagles' second round selection in 2016. The trade also includes a conditional selection in 2016 that the Eagles could receive depending on Bradford's playing time in 2015. The Eagles will receive a 2016 fourth-round selection if Bradford plays fewer than 50 percent of the snaps; the selection will upgrade to a third-rounder if Bradford does not play at all in 2015. Bradford started for the Eagles Week 1, eliminating the possibility of the third-round upgrade.
- The Rams traded one of their two seventh-round selections (No. 249 overall — acquired in a trade that sent wide receiver Greg Salas to the New England Patriots), along with their 2013 second-round selection to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for the Falcons' 2013 first-, third- and sixth-round selections.
- The Rams traded their second round selection (No. 41 overall) to the Carolina Panthers (used to select Devin Funchess, WR, Michigan) for Carolina's second round selection (No. 57 overall, used to select Rob Havenstein), third round selection (No. 89 overall, used to select Sean Mannion) and sixth round selection (No. 201 overall, used to select Bud Sasser).
- The Rams traded RB Zac Stacy to the New York Jets for their seventh round selection (No. 224 overall, used to select Bryce Hager).
- Supplemental draft
The Rams selected Clemson offensive tackle Isaiah Battle in the 2015 Supplemental draft. As a result, the team will forfeit their fifth-round selection in the 2016 draft.[2]

Nine years after Week 17 of 2006, the Rams traveled to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. In that game, the Rams easily defeated the Vikings, 41-21, which stunned the Vikings fans. The game was played at the Metrodome.
In the duel of running backs, between Todd Gurley and Adrian Peterson, Gurley was held to just 89 yards. Peterson was the game's leading rusher with 125 yards.
Without several defensive starters including Robert Quinn, the Rams defense struggled to contain the Vikings offense, especially their explosive receiving corps, all game long.
In the second quarter, Greg Zuerlein nailed a 61-yard field goal to give the Rams a 12-10 lead. The field goal put Zuerlein 7th in NFL history for longest field goal made, and as the only kicker in NFL history besides Sebastian Janikowski to have more than one field goal of 60 yards or longer in his career.
In the second half, Lamarcus Joyner hit Teddy Bridgewater in the head, forcing Teddy to leave the game with a concussion. Thom Brennaman called the hit on Bridgewater "dirty". Shaun Hill, who played for the Rams last year and returned to Minnesota for his second stint in the off-season, took over for Teddy for the game's remainder.
With the Rams trailing 18-15 in the fourth quarter, Zuerlein booted another field goal, forcing the game into overtime. However, in that period, Minnesota's Blair Walsh nailed the game-winning field goal to give the Vikings the final score.
With the narrow loss, the Rams dropped to 4-4.

Two years after Week 12 of 2013, the Rams hosted the Chicago Bears.
Prior to Week 10, Stedman Bailey was suspended for 4 games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Later, the Rams acquired free agent Wes Welker, who last played for the Denver Broncos last season. He helped the Broncos to the Super Bowl in 2013.
The Rams struggled all game especially on defense in which they could not contain the Bears offense, especially the running game despite an injury to Matt Forte. Nick Foles struggled all day and this time it would force Case Keenum to take over late in the fourth quarter. Much like last week at Minnesota, Todd Gurley was once again held to 89 yards. Newly acquired Welker was no help, either.
With the embarrassing loss, the Rams dropped to 4-5.

Late in the fourth quarter, with the game tied at 13, Greg Zurlien missed a 52-yarder which would have sealed the Rams victory. With a second left, Justin Tucker nailed a 41-yarder to give the Ravens the final score.
The Rams defense could not contain the Ravens offense all game, especially the running game.
With the loss, the Rams fell to 4-6, extending their losing streak to 3 games.

The Rams suffered a blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
A rejuvenated Nick Foles got his starting job back after being benched in favor of Case Keenum, who suffered a concussion after last week's loss in Baltimore. However, Foles' return was marred as he struggled to find open receivers and was picked off three times by the Bengals ranked defense. He also took hits throughout the game and he was sacked a few times. The only Rams score was a 5-yard run by Tavon Austin on a reverse play in the second quarter.
St. Louis' defense was not a factor all game as they struggled to stop the high-powered Bengals offense led by quarterback Andy Dalton, and receivers A. J. Green, and Tyler Eifert, (the latter left the game with a stinger) who is leading the league in touchdown catches.
With the loss, the Rams extended their losing streak to 4 games, making their record 4-7.

This game was the second time in the season the Rams wore their 1999 throwbacks and the second time the Rams face the Cardinals.
Although they did put pressure on Carson Palmer, St Louis' defense overall failed to stop Arizona's much-hyped offense, especially the running game. As for the Rams offense, Todd Gurley was limited to just 41 rushing yards.
With the loss, the Rams dropped to 4-8. A day after, the Rams fired offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti.
