The Worst Season: Before their Super Bowl run, the St. Louis Rams struggled to win games in 2009

The team’s newfound success under Head Coach Sean McVay can make it easy to forget the franchise’s struggles in the not so distant past. Struggles that existed before the Jeff Fisher era or before the team moved back to Los Angeles from St. Louis.

Struggles that tested the allegiance of the fanbase.

Before McVay, Rams fans wore their colors with pride and an ever-present sense of disappointment. Forget a Super Bowl. Just win more than seven games. Win more than five games. Hell, win more than one game.

For the better part of a decade, not even a playoff appearance seemed within the franchise’s grasp.
