It is officially one week until the Los Angeles Rams kick off the 2026 season against the 49ers down under. The Rams are looking to ensure they finish with more than an NFC Championship berth this season, as another Lombardi Trophy is firmly in their sights.
Until then, LA has seven 2025 playoff teams on its schedule, so the path back to the Super Bowl won’t be easy. It’s time to take a trip down memory lane and reflect on the last time the Rams beat each of their opponents on the upcoming 2026 regular
season schedule.
San Francisco 49ers
Last Win: Week 10, 2025
In Round 2 of Matthew Stafford versus Mac Jones, the Rams got their revenge after losing to the Whiners a few weeks prior. Los Angeles jumped out to a 21-0 lead before San Francisco clawed within eight points just minutes into the fourth quarter. The Rams’ offense was unstoppable in the 42-26 win, as Stafford threw four touchdown passes and Kyren Williams tacked on two more scores on the ground. ‘Twas a fine day at the office in a win over a hated rival.
New York Giants
Last Win: Week 17, 2023
This was a nail-biter and certainly gave fans heart palpitations. With the Rams fighting to secure a playoff spot, all they needed was to defeat the woeful Giants, which proved much harder than expected. Williams saved the day with three rushing touchdowns. New York had a chance to win it with 34 seconds left. However, veteran kicker Mason Crosby missed a 54-yarder as LA clinched its sixth win in seven games following a 3-6 start.
Denver Broncos
Last Win: Week 16, 2022
Turf Show Ramily, let’s ride. Sorry, don’t know what got into me there. The Rams were riddled with injuries during their miserable 2022 campaign, yet played like a contender against a horrible Broncos squad led by Russell Wilson. Wilson threw three interceptions, including one to former Seahawks teammate Bobby Wagner. Baker Mayfield was lethal, going 24-of-28 for 230 yards and two touchdowns, while Cam Akers reached the end zone three times on the ground. Denver fired first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett shortly after this one, so Merry Belated Christmas, Broncos Country?
Philadelphia Eagles
Last Win: Week 2, 2020
LA has yet to beat the Eagles in the Nick Sirianni era, so we’ll have to take the way-back machine to Doug Pederson’s time in Philly. Carson Wentz was a mess in 2020, his last season in the City of Brotherly Love. The Rams’ top-ranked defense picked off Wentz twice, en route to a 37-19 win. Meanwhile, Wentz’s draftmate Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes, all to tight end Tyler Higbee. Rams, if you finally end the streak, cheesesteaks will be on me.
Buffalo Bills
Last Win: Week 14, 2024
This one was awesome, perhaps one of the best Rams games ever under Sean McVay alongside the 2018 epic against the Chiefs (more on that shortly). Somehow, Los Angeles overcame MVP Josh Allen’s six-touchdown performance (three passing, three rushing) in the 44-42 win. They even managed not to choke away a 17-point lead entering the fourth quarter, as Buffalo scored 21 points in the final frame. So yeah, it was an insane game, putting it mildly.
Arizona Cardinals
Last Win: Week 18, 2025
The poor Cardinals. They had a chance to play spoiler against a Super Bowl hopeful, but it crumbled away in the fourth quarter. After three quarters, though, Arizona was down by just three points. Jacoby Brissett did his best to keep them in it. However, Stafford’s four touchdown passes, including three in the second half, helped the Rams put away the Redbirds for good in the 37-20 win.
Las Vegas Raiders
Last Win: Week 7, 2024
After beginning the year 1-4, the Rams needed a win in the worst way. Luckily, that’s what the Raiders are for. There wasn’t much of note in this one, outside of Stafford and company not doing much, as they amassed only 259 yards of offense. LA jumped ahead 20-6 halfway through the third quarter and let the Raiders kick three field goals the rest of the way, making the final score appear respectable. Still, this game kicked off the Rams’ 9-3 stretch to end the 2024 campaign and secure the NFC West title.
Los Angeles Chargers
Last Win: Week 3, 2018
The Rams and Chargers have played twice since moving back to Los Angeles, splitting the matchups. Last time the Rams beat their roommate came early in the 2018 season. Goff threw three touchdown passes, including two to Robert Woods, as Todd Gurley produced over 150 total yards of offense and a touchdown in the 35-23 win to move to 3-0.
Washington Commanders
Last Win: Week 15, 2023
This was a game that could’ve gotten ugly for the Rams, especially if they couldn’t come away with the win. Los Angeles moved back to .500 in a 28-20 win over Washington, which saw them jump ahead 20-0 before the Commies chipped away at the lead. Had LA completely blown the lead, it would’ve put their playoff chances on life support. Fortunately, that didn’t happen, so we don’t have to consider that alternative history.
Green Bay Packers
Last Win: Week 8, 2018
Like Philadelphia, Green Bay has been the Rams’ Kryptonite, especially in the Matt LaFleur era. However, things were different in the waning weeks with Mike McCarthy at the helm. LA escaped the Coliseum after a too-close-for-comfort 29-27 win to move to 8-0. Thank the football gods for Ty Montgomery’s selfish fumbled kickoff, or else Aaron Rodgers might’ve handed the Rams their first loss.
Kansas City Chiefs
Last Win: Week 11, 2018
You just knew it had to be this one. What else can really be said about this one, besides calling it one of the greatest and most high-scoring games in NFL history? No words that I type will give this game justice, so that’s why I’ll leave these highlights here:
Dallas Cowboys
Last Win: Week 1, 2020
Can you believe it’s been this long since the Rams last beat the Cowboys? Crazy! In the first game ever at SoFi Stadium, LA limited a high-powered Dallas offense to just three second half points after them Boys had a one-point lead at halftime. It was a quality start to a new chapter in team history, but also a season where the Rams finished with the top-ranked defense in the league.
Seattle Seahawks
Last Win: Week 11, 2025
Out of three matchups between the NFC West foes last season, this one was the lone one the Rams won. It helped that Sam Darnold threw four interceptions, arguably his worst game of the season. Seattle’s defense kept the game close after LA had an early 14-3 lead. It wasn’t enough as the Rams narrowly won, 21-19. It’s a shame neither of the other two games between the teams went the Rams’ way. Darn it, Darnold, you had one job!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Last Win: Week 12, 2025
On Sunday Night Football, the Rams proved to the NFL world that they were the best team in football — a title that lasted a whole week. Anyways, in front of a primetime audience, they put on a show, winning 34-7. Los Angeles didn’t have to do much after going up 31-7 at halftime. Stafford tossed three touchdowns, and it looked as though LA was well on its way to winning a second title with him under center. Remember how I said these good vibes didn’t last long. Oh well, at least it was a nice week.
