St. Louis Rams franchise from 1936 to present, including conference standings, division standings, postseason records, league awards for individual players or head coaches, and team awards for individual players. The Rams franchise was founded in Cleveland in 1936 when the team was playing in the newly formedAmerican Football League (AFL). The franchise moved to theNational Football League (NFL) the following year. In 1943 operations were suspended due a depleted player roster due toWorld War II , and play resumed the following year. The Rams were the only team to suspend completely in 1943. The franchise has changed home cities twice, moving toLos Angeles in 1946 and toSt. Louis, Missouri in 1995.The franchise has had three periods of success in their history. The first period of came as the Cleveland Rams in NFL when they won the NFL Championship. This period continued until the 1950s as the Los Angeles Rams with them making the playoffs a further five times. The second period of success lasted over twenty years between 1966–1989 where the Rams made the playoffs 16 time and captured ten NFC Division titles including a run of seven in a row. However, this period of success was marred by the fact that the franchise did not win the
Super Bowl and only one Conference Championship. The most recent period of success began in 1999 as the St. Louis Rams where the Rams caused a major surprise by winningSuper Bowl XXXIV against theTennessee Titans . This period continued until 2004 but the franchise failed to win another Super Bowl and suffered a surprise defeat to theNew England Patriots inSuper Bowl XXXVI .The Rams have experienced failure in their history but mostly over brief periods.
