2026 Los Angeles Rams season
89th season in franchise history
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2026 season is the Los Angeles Rams' 89th in the National Football League (NFL), their 90th overall, 60th in the Greater Los Angeles Area, seventh playing their home games at SoFi Stadium and their 10th under head coach Sean McVay. The Rams will seek to improve upon their 12–5 record from the previous season, make the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year, and reclaim the NFC West title. This will be the first season since 2022 without Mike LaFleur as offensive coordinator, as he departed to become the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. While active in free agency, the Rams also made several high-profile trades to improve their defense, first acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs in March, then in June trading with the Cleveland Browns for edge rusher Myles Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Later in August, former three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald came out of retirement to join the team. If the Rams lose one more time, they will fail to improve on their 12–5 record from the previous season.

During the offseason, the Rams introduced a new primary logo and modified uniforms, removing the gradients, and eliminating the "bone" jersey and pants that had been introduced in 2020. In July, the team also unveiled new alternate uniforms, one of which replicated the uniforms won by L.A.'s 1951 NFL Championship team, while the other evoked the memory of the famed Fearsome Foursome defensive line of the late 1960s.

Emerging from the offseason as presumptive Super Bowl favorites, the Rams looked anything but that in a lackluster performance against the NFC West rival 49ers in the first NFL International Series game ever played in Australia. After punting on its first two drives, Los Angeles drove early in the second quarter to what would be its lone score of the day, a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Kyren Williams that was set up by a 41-yard reception by wide receiver Puka Nacua. With the Rams up 7–3, the teams traded interceptions before San Francisco took the lead for good 10–7 on Brock Purdy's 39-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver (and former Ram) DeMarcus Robinson with 4:35 remaining in the first half. After San Francisco increased its lead to 17–7 on its opening drive of the third period with Purdy tossing a 2-yard TD pass to new wide receiver Mike Evans, the Rams responded by driving 72 yards in 12 plays to the San Francisco 1. But on fourth-and-goal, quarterback Matthew Stafford was stopped short of the end zone and Los Angeles turned over the ball on downs. The 49ers then responded with a methodical 11-play drive that covered 99 yards and ended with Purdy's third touchdown of the day, a 15-yard strike to wide receiver Deebo Samuel. San Francisco kicker Eddie Pineiro added his second field goal of the game late in the fourth quarter to complete the scoring. For the Rams, Stafford completed 15 of 25 passes for 155 yards and an interception, while Nacua had five receptions for 74 yards. Running back Blake Corum had 54 yards on 10 carries to lead the Rams on the ground. Safety Quentin Lake had a team-high 10 tackles (seven unassisted) and an interception on defense. The day marked a disappointing debut for reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, who started at outside linebacker and played in 40 of 65 possible defensive snaps but recorded no statistics during the game. With the upset loss, the Rams started their season 0–1. This game was also quarterback Stetson Bennett IV's first game in the NFL.

Wide receiver Davante Adams had his most productive day in a Rams uniform, catching eight passes for 195 yards in leading Los Angeles to a convincing home-opening victory on Monday Night Football. His first big play came late in the first quarter on a 19-yard pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford to push the Rams into Giants territory for the first time. Then, three plays later, Stafford and Adams connected again on a 31-yard touchdown pass over the middle to finish off an eight-play, 80-yard scoring drive. After forcing a New York punt, L.A. went 78 yards in six plays with Stafford hitting running back Kyren Williams with a 10-yard scoring toss. Adams and Stafford connected again, this time with an 11-yard touchdown on a fade route on the seventh play of an 86-yard drive. Stafford's fourth and final touchdown pass of the night came on a 5-yard score to tight enter Terrance Ferguson in the back of the end zone. With his 22nd four-touchdown game, Stafford surpassed Philip Rivers for sixth place all-time in career touchdown passes and his 69th 300-yard passing game is seventh-best all-time. Running backs Williams and Blake Corum shared the workload on the ground with both carrying the ball 12 times for 85 and 79 yards, respectively. On defense, inside linebacker Nate Landman led the Rams with seven tackles and cornerback Trent McDuffie added two tackles, four pass deflections and an interception. Also notable was the return of defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who had three tackles including one for loss in his first game back since ending his two-year retirement.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford's final pass as time expired was intercepted in the end zone as the host Broncos escaped with a wild victory on Sunday Night Football. Los Angeles built a 16–0 halftime lead, dominating on both sides of the ball. Tight end Tyler Higbee caught a 5-yard TD pass from Stafford in the first quarter and kicker Harrison Mevis converted three field goals (36, 35, 40), all in the second period. Meanwhile, the Rams' defense limited the Broncos to just 67 yards in total offense during the first two periods. But Denver bounced back in the third quarter with back-to-back touchdown drives followed by successful two-point conversion plays after each score tied the game 16–16. Mevis added a fourth field goal from 48 yards out to give L.A. a three-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. After forcing the Broncos to punt, the Rams drove past midfield and were poised to add to their lead when Stafford threw an interception that was returned by Denver safety Talanoa Hufanga 66 yards for a touchdown. It was the 33rd pick-six thrown by Stafford in his career, breaking a tie he shared with Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre for the most interceptions returned for touchdown in NFL history. But Stafford responded on the next drive by connecting with wide receiver Konata Mumpfield on a 48-yard touchdown pass to put the Rams back on top 26–23. Denver rallied by driving to the goal line, and after a series of questionable officiating calls (Los Angeles was penalized five times on defense in the final two minutes), Broncos quarterback Bo Nix scored from the L.A. 1-yard line with 47 seconds remaining. Starting from their own 33 with just one time out left, the Rams moved quickly with Higbee (eight receptions, 62 yards, 1 TD) and running back Kyren Williams keeping the drive alive with big catches, the last of which put L.A. on the Denver 19 when Hufanga picked off Stafford for the second time to end the game. Williams had 88 yards on 15 rushing attempts while also catching six passes for 70 yards and wide receiver Davante Adams added seven receptions for 137 yards. Linebacker Omar Speights led the defense with six tackles including a sack and a forced fumble in the loss. This was the Rams' first loss to the Broncos since 2002 when they were based in St. Louis.

Trailing 20–10 during halftime, the Rams scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to defeat the host Eagles. Running back Kyren Williams scored two touchdowns in the game's final four minutes to finish off the comeback, which secured L.A.'s first victory over Philadelphia since 2020. Williams had 16 carries for 80 yards rushing and caught a single-game personal best 10 passes for 67 yards. Kicker Harrison Mevis converted a 40-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter and wide receiver Puka Nacua scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter to bring the Rams to within 13–10 before the Eagles scored a touchdown just before halftime to take a 10-point lead. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw a pair of interceptions in the first half, but rebounded to throw for 317 yards and engineer the 40th fourth quarter comeback of this career. Meanwhile Nacua, seeing his first action after being sidelined the previous two weeks, was held to just one reception in the first half but finished the day with nine catches for 125 yards. Tight end Tyler Higbee had another strong outing with five catches for 67 yards. The Rams' defense held the Eagles to just 172 yards in total net yards while also holding Philadelphia without a third down conversion (0 for 12). Outside linebacker Byron Young had six combined tackles including 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble, while inside linebacker Nate Landman led the Rams with nine total tackles.
