Los Angeles Rams 1979 Team Photo

This Los Angeles Rams 1979 Team Photo featured a roster that won their seventh-consecutive NFC West title and went to the Super Bowl for the first time. It was the team’s only Super Bowl appearance while based in Los Angeles, and their first appearance in a league championship game since 1955.

This was the final season for the franchise in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Rams moved to Anaheim beginning with the 1980 season.

The gutsy Rams almost won the Super Bowl and led every quarter but the last. Jack Youngblood played most of the game with a broken leg. And the Steelers won a 4th Super Bowl in 5 years.

In the classic NFL Films series, John Facenda stated “The Los Angeles Rams earned a dignity in defeat that they had never attained in victory”. Check out the video link below.
