2003 was the last time the Los Angeles Rams made the playoffs, led by Mark Bulger, Marshall Faulk, and Torry Holt. They squeaked in with an 8-8 record as a wild card team and beat the Seattle Seahawks 27-20. They lost to the Atlanta Falcons 47-17 in the divisional round. Faulk retired after the season, and it was the last full year the team was coached by Mike Martz. The Greatest Show on Turf was essentially over.
Now, thirteen years later, the Rams are 7-3 and leading the NFC West by one game over the Seahawks.
