The 2015 St. Louis Rams season was the franchise's 78th season in the National Football League and the fourth under head coach Jeff Fisher.

It was also the 21st and final season that the team resided in St. Louis, Missouri, its home since the 1995 season. After the Rams finished last in attendance for the 2015 season, and an arbitral tribunal gave permission for the Rams to void their lease on the Edward Jones Dome, Rams owner Stan Kroenke filed a formal application with the league to relocate the Rams to Los Angeles, California, where the team will temporarily play at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for three seasons until the already under construction Los Angeles Entertainment Center is complete. Kroenke's request to move the team to Los Angeles was approved on January 12, 2016. at a meeting in Houston, Texas^[1] Template:TOC limit

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]

Prior to kickoff, the game was delayed due to the turf being caught on fire, coming from the fireworks.

The Rams struggled offensively and defensively all game long. This was perhaps due to the distraction of Steelers fans. The defense, for the most part, sacked Ben Roethlisberger until he left the game with an apparent knee injury. Michael Vick took over for the rest of the game.

On defense, James Laurinitis intercepted a pass from Aaron Rodgers, Rodger's first interception thrown in Lambeau in 20 games. However, the defense, for the most part, struggled to contain the Packers explosive receiving corps all day long. With the loss, the Rams drop to 2-3.

Week Seven: Cleveland Browns at St. Louis Rams – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Browns 0 3 3 0 6 Rams 10 0 7 7 24 at Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, Missouri Date: October 25 Game time: 12:00 p.m. CDT Game weather: Played indoors (dome stadium) Game attendance: 51,523 Referee: Pete Morelli TV announcers (CBS): Tom McCarthy and Adam Archuleta Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers CLE – STL – Top rushers CLE – STL – Top receivers CLE – STL – Top tacklers CLE – STL – Template:Multicol-end

For the first time since Week 8 of 2007, the Rams travel back home to face the Cleveland Browns. In the first quarter, Rodney McCleod intercepted a Luke McCown pass to the give the Rams the game's first points. Todd Gurley was limited to just 9 yards in the first half, but he managed to turn things around in the second half, rushing for 94 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown run. That score was Gurley's first NFL touchdown. With the win, the Rams go to 3-3.

Week 8: vs. San Francisco 49ersEdit

Week Eight: San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total 49ers 3 3 0 0 6 Rams 2 18 0 7 27 at Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, Missouri Date: November 1 Game time: 12:00 p.m. CST Game weather: Played indoors (domed stadium) Game attendance: 51,207 Referee: Jerome Boger TV announcers (Fox): Dick Stockton, David Diehl and Kristina Pink Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers SF – STL – Top rushers SF – STL – Top receivers SF – STL – Top tacklers SF – STL – Template:Multicol-end

The Rams wore their 1973-1999 throwbacks against the San Francisco 49ers for the first time in the season. Todd Gurley had another productive day, and he rushed for 133 yards, including a 71-yard run for a touchdown. The Rams used two Tavon Austin touchdowns for the final score. Although Chris Long did not play, the Rams executed defensively, putting pressure on Colin Kaepernick all game long.

With the win, the Rams go to 4-3 and with that win the Rams have a .571 winning percentage making it the first time since 2006 the Rams are above .500.

Week 9: at Minnesota VikingsEdit

Nine years after Week 17 of 2006, the Rams travel 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 go to 4-4.

Week 10: vs. Chicago BearsEdit

Week Ten: Chicago Bears at St. Louis Rams – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Bears 10 14 0 13 37 Rams 10 0 3 0 13 at Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, Missouri Date: November 15 Game time: 12:00 p.m. CST Game weather: Played indoors (dome stadium) Game attendance: 58,653 Referee: Jeff Triplette TV announcers (CBS): Andrew Catalon, Steve Beuerlein and Steve Tasker Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers CHI – STL – Top rushers CHI – STL – Top receivers CHI – STL – Top tacklers CHI – STL – Template:Multicol-end

Two years after Week 12 of 2013, the Rams host 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. Keenum was no help, however, as he was intercepted by the Chicago defense. 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 go to 4-5.

Week 11: at Baltimore RavensEdit

Week Eleven: St. Louis Rams at Baltimore Ravens – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Rams 7 0 6 0 13 Ravens 0 3 0 13 16 at M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, Maryland Date: November 22 Game time: 1:00 p.m. EST/12:00 p.m. CST Game weather: Template:Convert/F, partly cloudy Game attendance: 71,105 Referee: Tony Corrente TV announcers (Fox): Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston and Laura Okmin Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers STL – BAL – Top rushers STL – BAL – Top receivers STL – BAL – Top tacklers STL – BAL – Template:Multicol-end

Case Keenum started in place of the incumbent Nick Foles.

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 fall to 4-6.

Week 12: at Cincinnati BengalsEdit

Week Twelve: St. Louis Rams at Cincinnati Bengals – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Rams 0 7 0 0 7 Bengals 7 10 14 0 31 at Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio Date: November 29 Game time: 1:00 p.m. EST/12:00 p.m. CST Game weather: Template:Convert/F, cloudy Game attendance: 61,022 Referee: Craig Wrolstad TV announcers (Fox): Thom Brennaman, Charles Davis and Tony Siragusa Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers STL – CIN – Top rushers STL – CIN – Top receivers STL – CIN – Top tacklers STL – CIN – Template:Multicol-end

The Rams travel to Cincinnati to take on the 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 go to 4-7.

Week 13: vs. Arizona CardinalsEdit

Week Thirteen: Arizona Cardinals at St. Louis Rams – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Cardinals 7 3 14 3 27 Rams 0 0 3 0 3 at Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, Missouri Date: December 6 Game time: 12:00 p.m. CST Game weather: Played indoors (dome stadium) Game attendance: 51,115 Referee: Bill Vinovich TV announcers (Fox): Chris Myers, Ronde Barber and Jennifer Hale Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers ARI – STL – Top rushers ARI – STL – Top receivers ARI – STL – Top tacklers ARI – STL – Template:Multicol-end

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 drop to 4-8. A day after, the Rams let offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti go.

Week 14: vs. Detroit LionsEdit

Week Fourteen: Detroit Lions at St. Louis Rams – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Lions 0 0 7 7 14 Rams 0 7 7 7 21 at Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, Missouri Date: December 13 Game time: 12:00 p.m. CST Game weather: Played indoors (dome stadium) Game attendance: 51,202 Referee: Walt Anderson TV announcers (Fox): Chris Myers, Ronde Barber and Jennifer Hale Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers DET – STL – Top rushers DET – STL – Top receivers DET – STL – Top tacklers DET – STL – Template:Multicol-end

The Rams host the Detroit Lions for the first time since Week 4 of 2006, where the Rams won 41-34. In the game against the Lions at Week 14 of the 2015 NFL season they won 14-21.

A photo of rapper and Roc Nation founder Jay Z in the Rams locker room along with his client Todd Gurley, and several Rams players was released shortly after.

With that win the Rams go up 5-8.

Week 15: vs. Tampa Bay BuccaneersEdit

Week Fifteen: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at St. Louis Rams – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Buccaneers 3 0 3 17 23 Rams 14 7 7 3 31 at Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, Missouri Date: December 17 Game time: 7:25 p.m. CST Game weather: Played indoors (dome stadium) Game attendance: 51,295 Referee: Jerome Boger TV announcers (NFLN): Ian Eagle, Trent Green and Evan Washburn Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers TB – STL – Top rushers TB – STL – Top receivers TB – STL – Top tacklers TB – STL – Template:Multicol-end

Two years after Week 16 of 2013, the Rams hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by rookie quarterback Jameis Winston.

The "Color Rush" jerseys was used for this game. It was the first time the Rams wore the Color Rush Jersey.^[3]

In their final game played in St. Louis, before returning to Los Angeles for next season, Rams fans were seen holding signs saying, "Keep the Rams in St. Louis" and chants of "Keep the Rams" were heard after the game.

Despite offensive production from Tampa Bay, the Rams still managed a 31-23 victory and went to 6-8 with Case Keenum throwing for 234 yards and 2 touchdowns, Todd Gurley rushing 48 yards, Tavon Austin rushing 32 yards and a touchdown, Kenny Britt receiving for 71 yards and 1 touchdown, and Jared Cook receiving for 64 yards. The Rams offense dominated this game as well the defense also put pressure on the Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston.

Week 16: at Seattle SeahawksEdit

Week Sixteen: St. Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Rams 10 6 0 7 23 Seahawks 0 3 7 7 17 at CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Washington Date: December 27 Game time: 3:25 p.m. CST/1:25 p.m. PST Game weather: Template:Convert/F, cloudy Game attendance: 69,080 Referee: John Hussey TV announcers (Fox): Chris Myers, Ronde Barber and Holly Sonders Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers STL – SEA – Top rushers STL – SEA – Top receivers STL – SEA – Top tacklers STL – SEA – Template:Multicol-end

It was the second time the Rams face the Seahawks in the season. The Seahawks win over Cleveland in Week 15 eliminated the Rams from playoff contention for the 11th consecutive season. However the Rams defeated the Seahawks for the second time in the season (since Week 1) in a 23-17 win. The last time the Rams did this was 2004.

With that win, the Rams record went up to 7-8.

Week 17: at San Francisco 49ersEdit

Week Seventeen: St. Louis Rams at San Francisco 49ers – Game summary 1 2 3 4 Total Rams 3 13 0 0 16 49ers 0 10 3 3 19 at Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, California Date: January 3, 2016 Game time: 3:25 p.m. CST/1:25 p.m. PST Game weather: Template:Convert/F, partly cloudy Game attendance: 70,799 Referee: Walt Coleman TV announcers (CBS): Tom McCarthy and Adam Archuleta Recap, Gamebook Game information Template:Multicol First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter Template:Multicol-break Top passers STL – SF – Top rushers STL – SF – Top receivers STL – SF – Top tacklers STL – SF – Template:Multicol-end

With that loss, the Rams go down to 7-9 and with the season-ending it is the ninth consecutive losing season for the Rams in St. Louis.

The Rams were without Todd Gurley, who suffered a foot injury in the third quarter of last week's win at Seattle.
