The 2016 Los Angeles Rams season is the franchise's 79th season in the National Football League and the fifth under head coach Jeff Fisher. It is the franchise's 50th season in the Greater Los Angeles Area and the first since 1994. The Rams made their first appearance on HBO's Hard Knocks and will also appear on the new E! series Hollywood & Football. The team returned to Los Angeles after 21 seasons in St. Louis. The 2016 season saw the Rams attempting to improve upon their 7–9 record from 2015. After a stunning 3–1 start, the Rams would massively struggle in the second half, going 1–11 in their final 12 games, en route to a 4–12 record. The Rams also went 1–7 at home in 2016, their worst home record since going 0–8 at home in their 1–15 2009 season. The Rams also missed the playoffs for the 12th straight season, the 3rd longest current streak in the NFL. Only the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns have longer such streaks. They also clinched their 13th straight losing season, which is the longest current streak in the NFL. The Rams were also the only team to lose to the 49ers in 2016, as both wins for the 49ers were against the Rams.
On December 12, 2016, Fisher was fired after a blowout loss to the Atlanta Falcons and clinching another losing record at 4–9. John Fassel was named interim head coach.
After receiving permission to void its lease on the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis during the 2015 season, the team officially filed an application to relocate to Los Angeles on January 4, 2016, where it would play at the City of Champions Stadium in Inglewood when completed; construction began in December 2015 and the opening is scheduled for 2019. In the interim, the Rams will play seven of their home games in Los Angeles, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and the eighth game at Twickenham Stadium in London as part of the NFL International Series until the City of Champions Stadium is complete.
