How many of the biggest blowouts in NFL history have the Rams been involved in?
The NFL has produced a lot of memorable games throughout its history, from thrilling Super Bowls to high-scoring regular-season games like the epic Rams-Chiefs shootout in 2018. There have also naturally been some major duds where one team blows the doors off their opponent and wins in lopsided fashion.
Those aren't the most exciting games to watch and are certainly forgettable for fans of the losing side, but some of those victories come with record-setting performances – so there are some memorable aspects to them.
Sam Robinson of Yardbarker recently ranked the 30 biggest blowouts in NFL history (since 1960) and we checked to see how many games the Rams were involved in. It turns out they've played four of the most lopsided games ever, three being shutouts.
They were on the wrong side in two of them and the winning squad in two others.
2008: Jets 47, Rams 3
1987: 49ers 48, Rams 0
2014: Rams 52, Raiders 0
1976: Rams 59, Falcons 0
Their 48-0 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in 1987 remains the worst loss in franchise history, getting crushed two days after Christmas by their rivals en route to a 6-9 season. The 49ers were 13-2 that year but at least the Rams can take solace in the fact that they were one-and-done in the playoffs, losing to the Vikings in the first round.
On the other side, the Rams have two of the most lopsided victories since 1960, beating the Raiders 52-0 in 2014 under Jeff Fisher and the Falcons, 59-0, in 1976. In that win over the Falcons, the Rams outgained Atlanta, 569-81, an eye-popping line that shows just how dominant Los Angeles was in the victory.
The Rams had nearly as many yards (80) on Dwight Scales' touchdown catch in the fourth quarter as the Falcons had in the entire game (81).

Jason Kelce Makes Exciting Personal Announcement on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While Jason Kelce has transitioned into a new chapter as a TV personality and co-host of the "New Heights" podcast with his brother Travis Kelce, his ties to Philadelphia remain as strong as ever after spending 13 seasons with the Eagles.

Now in its fifth year, the event takes place in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, and is a community favorite. On Saturday, Kelce shared a heartfelt post about the event and made a major announcement—Team 62 raised over $1 million for the Eagles Autism Foundation, surpassing its original goal. "The last couple of days were intense, but by far our most successful Shore Birds event to date!" Jason wrote. "Because of everyone's efforts and support we were able to achieve our goal of raising over 1 MILLION DOLLARS for The Eagles Autism Foundation. He continued, "As always, Sea Isle City showed up and showed out. Tons of people came and spent their time and money in supporting this mission, and we couldn't be more grateful to all of you that attended and made these events special!" Jason Kelce has been a cornerstone of the Philadelphia community ever since he was drafted in the sixth round out of Cincinnati back in 2011.

Former NFL player and ESPN commentator Jason KelceDenny Medley-Imagn Images That passion for the city and the organization still runs deep.

Will Chiefs Still Be A Defense-First Team In 2025?
Will Chiefs Still Be A Defense-First Team In 2025? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs, over the past couple of seasons, have transitioned away from relying on fireworks on offense with Patrick Mahomes to leaning on their defense. Advertisement No longer do the Chiefs regularly score 30+ points and blow teams out; instead, Spagnuolo's defense holds teams to roughly 20 points per game, and the offense does just enough to win. Granted, two Super Bowl wins and making another appearance in three years show this is sustainable, but some want the Chiefs to revert to the swashbuckling offense they once had. But we know that might not be the case, and defensively, as we look ahead to 2025, what would be the best-case scenario for Spagnuolo's defense? "The Chiefs had a top-10 defense last season," Bleacher Report writes. "Chris Jones and George Karlaftis anchor a strong pass rush, Trent McDuffie is a star in the secondary, and the linebacker corps fits Spagnuolo's system to a tee. The best-case scenario would see the existing talent and familiarity be slightly better next season." Dec 26, 2021; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones (95) and defensive end Frank Clark (55) and quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) pose for pictures as the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers winds down at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.© William Purnell-Imagn Images Last year, the defense allowed only 19.2 points per game (ranked fourth), 101.8 rushing yards per game (ranked 25th), and a third-down conversion on 43 percent of attempts (ranked 24th), so there is plenty to work with. Advertisement Plus, the Chiefs' defense, much like Mahomes, has a knack for making a play when the team needs it, whether that be a sack, a PBU, or a forced fumble. If the defense can at least replicate its efforts from last season, and the offense, with a host of weapons returning, can improve, this Chiefs team will be in good shape come playoff time. But let's make it clear, the Chiefs aren't driven by Mahomes anymore - it's the defense that sets the tone.
