The 2013 season was the: St. Louis Rams' 76th in theββNational Football League (NFL), their 19th in St. Louis and their second under head coach Jeff Fisher. The Rams equaled their win total from 2012, but missed the "playoffs for a ninth consecutive season."
Week 7 saw Sam Bradford make his final appearance in a Rams uniform, as he tore his ACL in a game against the Carolina Panthers. That same injury prevented him from playing in the 2014 season, and he did not play another down in a Rams uniform as he was tradedββto the Philadelphia Eagles following the 2014 season.
