The 2023 season was the Los Angeles Rams' 86th in the National Football League (NFL), their 87th overall, their 57th in the Greater Los Angeles Area, the fourth playing their home games at SoFi Stadium and their seventh under head coach Sean McVay. Despite struggling in the first half of the season, dealing with injuries and a 3–6 record, the Rams went 7–1 in their final eight games, improving on their 5–12 record from the previous season after a Week 13 win against the Cleveland Browns.[1] After a close win against the Giants on New Years Eve, Los Angeles clinched its fifth winning season in six years. A loss from the Seattle Seahawks later that day helped the Rams clinch their return to the playoffs after a one-year absence.[2] In the Wild Card Round, the Rams lost to the Detroit Lions, led by their former quarterback Jared Goff.
For the first time since 2019, Jalen Ramsey was not on their opening day roster, as he was traded in the offseason to the Miami Dolphins for a 2023 third-round draft pick and tight end Hunter Long.[3] The team came to an agreement to part ways with Linebacker Bobby Wagner after one season with the Rams before returning to the rival Seattle Seahawks on a one-year contract. This was also the last season with Aaron Donald on the team, as he announced his retirement on March 15, 2024.
