After a decade of missing the playoffs and failing to finish above .500, the Rams have had a great deal of success in the last three seasons since Sean McVay took over as head coach. From an 11-5 record in his first year at the helm in 2017 to a Super Bowl appearance the following season, the Rams quickly turned into one of the top franchises.
Along the way, they’ve played some memorable games, too. There were a lot of great moments in 2017 and 2018 especially, including their two playoffs wins leading up to the Super Bowl.
Fortunately, fans can relive those games and watch them again online for free. The league has made NFL GamePass free until May 31 for anyone who wants to sign up, which normally costs $99 per year.
To pass the time without sports, Rams fans should rewatch these 10 games from the last three seasons.
Sept. 10, 2017: Rams rout Colts in McVay’s debut
It’s hard to imagine McVay’s first game as a head coach going much better. The Rams won 46-9, blowing out Indianapolis and limiting the Colts to just 225 total yards at the Coliseum. Jared Goff looked sharp, too, throwing for 306 yards with a passer rating of 117.9.
Sept. 21, 2017: Rams-49ers surprise with TNF classic
Little was expected of the Rams and 49ers in 2017, but they played one of the best games of the 2017 season in Week 3. The Rams won 41-39 in a classic shootout with each team topping 400 total yards. The 49ers nearly came back from down 41-26 in the fourth quarter, but their two-point conversion attempt with 2:13 to play failed.
Oct. 21, 2017: Gurley erupts for 215 yards vs. Cowboys
The following week, Todd Gurley went off. He had 121 yards rushing and 94 yards receiving, scoring one touchdown and helping lift the Rams to a 35-30 win. The play of the game was a 53-yard pass from Goff to Gurley for six.
Sept. 27, 2018: Goff perfect in Rams’ win over Vikings
The first sign of Goff’s breakout 2018 season came in Week 4 when he threw for 465 yards, five touchdowns and a perfect passer rating of 158.3. The Rams won 38-31 at home in a game that was one of the best of the season.
Oct. 7, 2018: Goff seals win vs. Seahawks with 4th-down sneak
Two weeks after beating the Vikings, the Rams knocked off the Seahawks on the road 33-31 to continue their winning streak. Cairo Santos’ 39-yard FG in the fourth gave the Rams their last lead of the game, and it was sealed when Goff picked up 2 yards on fourth-and-1 with 1:39 to play.
Nov. 4, 2018: Rams lose shootout to Saints
It might bring back bad memories, but the Rams-Saints showdown in Week 9 was outstanding. The Saints won 45-35, but only after the Rams came back from being down 35-14. They scored 21 unanswered, but Michael Thomas’ 72-yard touchdown with under four minutes clinched the win for New Orleans.
Nov. 19, 2018: Rams-Chiefs play an all-time classic
Arguably the best Monday Night Football game of all time, this one also has an argument for the greatest regular-season game ever. The Rams and Chiefs combined for 105 points, 1,001 yards, three defensive touchdowns and 35 combined points in the fourth quarter alone. The Rams won 54-51 with Gerald Everett’s 40-yard TD proving to be the difference as time wound down.
Jan. 12, 2019: Rams run wild on Cowboys in Divisional Round win
With questions about Todd Gurley’s health, he and C.J. Anderson combined for 238 yards rushing and three touchdowns in the Rams’ 30-22 win at home over the Cowboys to advance in the playoffs. Jared Goff’s 11-yard keeper with two minutes left sealed the win for L.A., sending the Rams to the NFC Championship Game.
Jan. 20, 2019: Rams beat Saints in controversial NFC Championship Game
And in that NFC Championship Game, the Rams upset the Saints at the Superdome – but not without controversy. Nickell Robey-Coleman’s uncalled pass interference penalty helped send the Rams to the Super Bowl as they beat the Saints in overtime, 26-23. They were down 23-20 with 1:41 left in the game but scored the final six points to win.
Sept. 22, 2019: 4th-quarter comeback vs. Browns
There weren’t many memorable games from last season, but this one stands out. The Rams were down 13-10 in the fourth quarter but scored 10 unanswered to win 20-13. John Johnson’s interception in the end zone capped it off for Los Angeles.
