The 2021 season was the Los Angeles Rams' 84th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 85th overall, their 55th in the Greater Los Angeles Area, the second playing their home games at SoFi Stadium and their fifth under head coach Sean McVay. This was the Rams' first season since 2015 without quarterback Jared Goff on the roster, as he was traded with draft picks to the Detroit Lions in exchange for Matthew Stafford.
