Back in Los Angeles as a franchise for the first time since 1994, the Rams kick off the 2016 regular season with a matchup against the NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.
Jeff Fisher’s squad will be hoping the relocation helps the team escape a recent stretch of mediocrity, as the Rams, who haven’t been to the playoffs since 2004, have won seven, seven, six and seven games the past four seasons.
The 49ers, meanwhile, appear to be moving in the opposite direction. A five-win team last year, the ‘Niners have what is regarded as one of the thinnest rosters in the NFL, although they’ll be hoping the addition of new head coach Chip Kelly helps turn things around.
