  • Rams Lose A Close One Again

    Fred Altieri|Oct 20, 2016

    The Los Angeles Rams' offense came to life in Detroit this past Sunday with quarterback Case Keenum having his best game of the season. Unfortunately for the Rams the defense faltered late as the Lions' Matt Prater kicked the winning field goal with 1:29 remaining in the game to win 31-28. For the second consecutive game the Los Angeles defense failed to stop the eventual game-winning drive in the fourth quarter after having won the previous three games in the same manner. The Rams had leads of...

  • Another 4th Quarter Collapse For Rams

    Fred Altieri|Oct 13, 2016

    Back to square one. For the second consecutive game the Los Angeles Rams lost a game they could have and should have won. This time the Detroit Lions rallied at home to beat the Rams, 31-28, by kicking a field goal with 1:29 remaining and intercepting a Case Keenum pass intended for Lance Kendricks to seal the victory. And for the second consecutive game the L.A. defense failed to stop the eventual game-winning drive in the fourth quarter after having won the previous three games in the same...

  • Mistakes Hurt Rams In Home Loss To Bills

    Fred Altieri|Oct 13, 2016

    Three steps forward and one step back. The Los Angeles Rams stubbed their toe as several key turnovers and failed offensive executions cost them the game against the Buffalo Bills, 30-19 last Sunday. It was the Rams' first defeat at home this season to run their record to 3-2 and 1/2 game behind Seattle in the NFC West Division. Los Angeles gambled and lost on a fake punt deep in their own territory late in the fourth quarter on a very hot October afternoon before 83,679 announced fans at the...

  • Rams Lose to Bills at Coliseum

    Fred Altieri|Oct 6, 2016

    The Los Angeles Rams gambled and lost on fake punt deep in their own territory late in the 4th quarter, turning the ball and the game over to the Buffalo Bills, 30-19, on a hot Sunday afternoon, October 9, 2016 before an anxious and slightly smaller crowd than the announced paid attendance of 83,679 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. "I wouldn't have called it if I didn't think it was going to work. That's how those things are. We practiced it all week, we had the look, and it didn't work....

  • First Place Rams Are Winning New LA Fans

    Fred Altieri|Oct 6, 2016

    The Los Angeles Rams' defense got its third consecutive save of the early 2016 NFL season but more impressively may be the impact the team's 3-1 start is having on their new generation of Southern California fans. The Rams beat the Arizona Cardinals, 17-13, on Sunday afternoon, October 2. The Rams rallied from behind for the second consecutive game on the road, this time at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. For the third consecutive game their defense prevented the...

  • Rams Win Third Consecutive Game

    Fred Altieri|Sep 29, 2016

    The 2016 Los Angeles Rams are developing a taste for winning the close ones.

On Sunday, October 2, the L.A. Rams beat the Arizona Cardinals, 17-13, as they rallied from behind for the second consecutive game on the road, this time at the University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale,...

  • Rams Win Again As Offense Contributes

    Fred Altieri|Sep 29, 2016

    The Los Angeles Rams are turning heads while attracting media hits as they won their second consecutive thriller, 37-32, on the road in a hot, muggy Raymond James Stadium last Sunday. Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were trying to shove the ball down their throat on the final drive of the game but didn't succeed. All this, after the threat of lightning passing through the Tampa area had the NFL suspending the game for over an hour right at the two-minute warning and the Rams hanging...

  • Rams Outlast Buccaneers and Lightning to Win 37-32

    Fred Altieri|Sep 22, 2016

    It boiled down to the last play of the game but the defense prevailed in the red zone as the Los Angeles Rams came away with a much-deserved 37-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, September 25, 2016. The game had a strange ending as it was suspended for over an hour due to lightning that moved into the Tampa Bay area with just two minutes remaining and the Rams hanging onto a slim 5-point lead with the ball but facing a 3rd-and-11 situation at their own 5-yard line. The Rams threw a...

  • Rams Thank Fans For Support In Defeating Seahawks

    Fred Altieri|Sep 22, 2016

Sunday, September 18, 2016 was a very important first-step for this pro football-starved fan base. The football gods may not have christened the win but 91,046 fans enthusiastically re-embracing their beloved Rams despite the decades-long absence certainly did. Undeniably,...

  • Rams Win Home Opener!

    Fred Altieri|Sep 15, 2016

  • Rams Humiliated In Opening Game Defeat

    Fred Altieri|Sep 15, 2016

    You wouldn't wish a game like this on your worst enemy... unless of course you're the San Francisco 49ers and you've just humiliated the new Los Angeles Rams 28-0. It happened in the 49ers' home-opener at Levi's Stadium during the second featured match of Monday Night Football. The Rams looked like a team that never made it out of the locker room except during the pregame warmups to check out the windier and cooler conditions. Their virtual absence also helped the 49ers look like a legitimate...

    Fred Altieri|Aug 4, 2016

    The City of Inglewood and the Los Angeles Rams are now partners with a promising future and a commitment to providing first-class entertainment. Five years ago both franchises were a disaster. The Rams were in St. Louis and at the bottom of the NFL with a 2-14 record. Inglewood was on the verge of suffering a financial collapse.
