The1990Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 53rd year with theNational Football League and 45th season in Los Angeles. On November 11, 1990,Marcus Dupree made his NFL debut against the New York Giants. The Rams, playing inAnaheim Stadium, looked to improve on their 11–5 season from1989 and make the playoffs for the third consecutive season and be possible contenders for the Super Bowl. However, the Rams would struggle all season, starting 1–4 before winning two of their next three games before losing their next two as they dipped to a 3–7 record. After a win overCleveland, the Rams upsetthe 49ers 28–17 in San Francisco to improve to 5–7. However, this would be perhaps the only good highlight of the season for the Rams. After defeating the 49ers, they ended the season on a 4 game losing streak and finished with a disappointing 5–11 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since1987 and only the fourth time since1972. This would however be their last win over the 49ers until the1999 season.
