NFL team season
The 2013 season was the St. Louis Rams' 76th in the National 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 traded to the Philadelphia Eagles following the 2014 season.

Tempers flared all game long. Not only did the Rams lose the game 15–30, but they lost two starters; defensive end Chris Long was ejected after throwing a punch and quarterback Sam Bradford suffered a season-ending knee injury after running out of bounds. It would also be Sam Bradford's last game in a Rams uniform as he missed all of 2014 with the same injury to the same knee and was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015.
