How Many Super Bowls Have The Rams Won?

In the National Football League (NFL), the Super Bowl is the final game of the season and the one to determine the overall league champion. The game has taken place every year since 1967, and there have been plenty of teams to win multiple championships. One of those teams is the Los Angeles Rams, who also spent time playing in St. Louis. The Rams have won two Super Bowls throughout their history. The remainder of this piece will discuss those two championships in detail, as well as their Super Bowl defeats.

Super Bowl XXXIV (1999-2000)

Making their second appearance in the Super Bowl, the Rams, who at this point were playing in St. Louis, took home their first Super Bowl title in the first Super Bowl of the 21st century. As champions of the National Football Conference (NFC), the Rams took on the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta, Georgia. In a low-scoring affair, the Rams led 9-0 at halftime, and would go on to take home the Super Bowl by a final score of 23-16. Rams quarterback Kurt Warner won the game’s MVP award after throwing for 414 yards and two touchdowns while completing 24 of his 45 passes. Warner became both the first undrafted and first first-year starter to win the Super Bowl at quarterback.

Super Bowl LVI (2021-2022)

At the most recent Super Bowl, Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles, California, the Rams took home their second Super Bowl title. Playing in their hometown, as the Rams are back in Los Angeles now, the Rams took a 13-10 lead into halftime over the AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals. In a back-and-forth affair, the Rams scored a late fourth quarter touchdown to take home the Super Bowl by a final score of 23-20. Rams’ wide receiver Cooper Kupp recorded eight receptions for 92 yards and two touchdowns, earning the game’s MVP award. 

Super Bowl Losses

Below are the Super Bowl appearances where the Rams were defeated:

Super Bowl XVII (1979-1980)

At Super Bowl XVII in Pasadena, California, the Rams, who were in their first stint in Los Angeles at the time, made their first trip to the Super Bowl. After winning the NFC, the Rams met the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers were in the midst of one of the more dominating runs in Super Bowl history, looking for their fourth title in six seasons. The Rams played this juggernaut Pittsburgh team extremely tough and took a 19-17 lead into the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Rams, the Steelers scored two fourth quarter touchdowns and took home that fourth title 31-19. Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw won the game’s MVP after throwing for 309 yards and two touchdowns on 14 of 21 completed passes.

Super Bowl XXXVI (2001-2002)

After winning their first Super Bowl in 2000, the (St. Louis) Rams made it back to the Super Bowl for the third time in 2002. At Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Rams took on the New England Patriots of the AFC. The Rams were down 14-3 at halftime and 17-3 after three quarters, they scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to tie the game, but the Patriots won the game 20-17 with a late field goal. Legendary Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named the game’s MVP after completing 17 of 27 passes for 145 yards and one touchdown. 

Super Bowl LIII (2018-2019)

At Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2019, the Rams made their fourth Super Bowl appearance. Just like in 2002, their opponent from the AFC was the New England Patriots. This game would go down in history as the lowest-scoring Super Bowl of all time. The Patriots led 3-0 at halftime, and the Rams just managed to tie it at  3-3 after three quarters. The Patriots would score the game’s lone touchdown in the fourth quarter, and they added a field goal to take home the Super Bowl by a score of 13-3. Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman won the game’s MVP after recording ten catches for 141 yards.
