The 2012 St. Louis Rams (now Los Angeles Rams) showed significant improvement in Jeff Fisher's first year as head coach, finishing with a 7-8-1 record. The season was highlighted by a perfect 4-0-1 record within the highly competitive NFC West, including a memorable 16-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Led by a resurgent Sam Bradford and a formidable defense featuring rookie standout Janoris Jenkins and star pass rusher Robert Quinn, the team demonstrated a renewed competitive spirit and established a strong foundation for the future.
