The Rams playing against the New Orleans Saints at Anaheim Stadium in 1980.

The1980 Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 43rd year with theNational Football League (NFL), the 35th season in Los Angeles, and the first season atAnaheim Stadium. The Rams improved from their 9–7 Super Bowl season from the previous year with an 11–5 record. They made the playoffs for the 8th straight season. They finished in 2nd place in the NFC West behind the Atlanta Falcons, which snapped Los Angeles' then-NFL record of consecutive division championships at 7. This record has since been snapped by the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs, who both won 11 and 8 straight division titles in their respective divisions. The Patriots streak ended in 2019, while the Chiefs is ongoing. Coming off a Super Bowl appearance the previous season, the Rams had high hopes of winning the championship for the first time. After a slow start to the season, the Rams caught fire and won five games in a row to sit at 5–2. In week 15, the Rams hosted theDallas Cowboys onMonday Night Football. In a highly anticipated matchup, the Rams wound up crushing the Cowboys 38–14. This win clinched a playoff berth for the Rams for the 8th straight season, still a team record. However, they couldn't beat Dallas when it mattered, losing at Texas Stadium in the Wild Card game 34–13. Because theSteelers missed the playoffs for the first time since 1971, the Rams were the only team from 1973 to this year that never missed the playoffs.
