Who says you can never go home again? Certainly not the Los Angeles Rams. In 2016, they came back to Los Angeles after two decades in St. Louis, and it was a triumphant return. In 2017, the Rams won the NFC West title, their first division crown since 2003 and their first appearance in the postseason since 2004. It also brought to a halt a 13-season skid without a winning season for the team. Between 2007-09, the Rams went 6-42, including a dismal 1-15 campaign in 2009. From 2005-16, the Rams endured seven seasons with at least 10 losses.
The switch back to Los Angeles was the third time that the franchise, born in 1936, had been relocated to another city. It began life as the Cleveland Rams and in 1945, they beat the Washington Redskins 15-14 to win their first NFL Championship. Regardless, the franchise heeded the call of the West Coast and relocated to Los Angeles for the 1946 season. That was home until 1994, when the Rams headed to St. Louis.

How To Win Los Angeles Rams Bets
The Los Angeles Rams look to be entering another period of prosperity for the franchise, and they've certainly enjoyed the good times many times previously.
Between 1945-55, they made the playoffs six times and played in five NFL Championship Games, winning two of them. From 1967-69, they won at least 10 games every season and a pair of Coastal Division crowns.
The 1970s saw the Rams win seven straight NFC West titles from 1973-79, reach the playoffs eight years in a row and make their first Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XIV, losing 31-19 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. There would be seven more playoff appearances in the 1980s and a pair of trips to the NFC Championshp Game.
The Greatest Show On Turf
There was a dry spell until 1999, but that year the Rams beat the Tennessee Titans 23-16 in Super Bowl XXXIV, launching a run of five postseason appearances in six years. An explosive offense led by quarterback Kurt Warner and featuring running back Marshall Faulk and wideouts Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt was billed as the Greatest Show On Turf.
The Rams curently feature an explosive offense led by quarterback Jared Goff, the top pick in the 2016 NFL draft, and running back Todd Gurley, the NFL's offensive rookie of the year in 2016, and people have come to call it the Greatest Show On Turf 2.0.
