The 2009 St. Louis Rams season was the team’s 72nd season in the National Football League, and its 15th in St. Louis. Due to the Rams winning only against the Detroit Lions, they finished with the NFL’s worst record at 1–15, earning the first overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft in Steve Spagnuolo’s first season as a head coach.
The 2009 Rams scored 175 points (10.9 per game), the sixth-fewest in NFL history for a 16-game season. The Rams threw only twelve combined touchdown passes all season -- including one by kicker Josh Brown. Quarterback Marc Bulger led the team with five touchdown passes.
In the three seasons from 2007 to 2009, the Rams won a total of six games, this being the worst record over such a period since the Chicago Cardinals during World War II. Indeed, the Cardinals never won fewer than four games in any season during their tenure in St. Louis from 1960 through 1987.

Famous quotes containing the words louis and/or season:
“The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The art of medicine in the season lies:
Wine given in season oft will benefit,
Which out of season injures.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
