"In a Los Angeles sports market dominated by the Dodgers and Lakers, the Rams needed to make a splash. They did it on April 14, 2016 when they traded up a record 14 spots for the opportunity to make the first pick in the NFL draft. Rams general manager Les Snead sent two first-round picks, two second-round picks and two third-round picks to the Tennessee Titans,"
"On an electric night, more than 89,000 filled the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the Aug. 13, 2016 preseason opener between the Rams and Dallas Cowboys. It was the first NFL game at the venue since 1994 and the first time since 1979 the Rams played a home game within the city limits. The game was the debut of Goff, who played two series in the second quarter, was inexplicably inactive for the season opener and did not play in the first nine games."
"On Jan. 12, 2017, a month after they fired coach Jeff Fisher, the Rams hired a 30-year-old with no head coaching experience. It turned out to be the most pivotal hire in franchise history. Sean McVay, now the winningest coach in Rams history with a 92-57 record, has led the Rams to two Super Bowls and one title and is pursuing another in the Rams' seventh playoff appearance in his nine seasons."
The NFL approved the Rams' return to Los Angeles from St. Louis on Jan. 12, 2016. The Rams traded up a record 14 spots on April 14, 2016, sending multiple first-, second- and third-round picks to the Tennessee Titans to secure the first overall pick and select Jared Goff. More than 89,000 fans attended the Aug. 13, 2016 preseason opener at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the first NFL game there since 1994 and the first home game within city limits since 1979. Goff debuted in that game but missed early regular-season action. The Rams hired 30-year-old Sean McVay on Jan. 12, 2017; he became the franchise's winningest coach, led the team to two Super Bowls and one title, and compiled a 92-57 record across nine seasons.
