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.
