The1995St. Louis Rams season was the team's 58th year with theNational Football League (NFL) and the first of 21 seasons inSt. Louis. They started the season atBusch Memorial Stadium before their new venue, theTrans World Dome, opened mid-season. The Rams looked to start their tenure in St. Louis strong by improving on their 4–12 record from 1994. In their first game in St. Louis, the Rams beat the New Orleans Saints, 17–13, and ultimately got off to a 4–0 start, leading the NFC West and looked poised to make a statement in the NFC. However, the team struggled later in the season. In week 8, the Rams were pounded, 44–10, by the dominant 49ers in the last NFL game at Busch. Following this loss, the team could not recover, as they only won two more games for the remainder of the season, one of those being the inaugural game in the Dome. Ultimately, the Rams slumped to a 7–9 record and missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season. This would be the only time between1990 and1998 the Rams did not finish a season with double-digit losses. This was also the Rams best finish until1999 when they finished 13–3 and went on to winthat year's Super Bowl.This would also be NFL offensive linemenJackie Slater final season.
