The 2011 season was the St. Louis Rams ' 74th in the National Football League , their 17th in St. Louis , and their third and final season under head coach Steve Spagnuolo . They finished with a 2–14 record – a failure to improve on their 7–9 record from 2010 – and the day after the season finale, head coach Steve Spagnuolo and general manager Billy Devaney were fired from the team.
The Rams' offense was among the worst in the league in 2011. They scored only 193 points (12.1 points per game), last in the league, and 11th-fewest all-time for a 16-game season.[1] Their −214-point differential was last in the league.[2]
Football Outsiders ranked St. Louis the worst team in the league, per play, in 2011.[3] The 2012 Football Outsiders Almanac , however, noted that the Rams went from the league's easiest schedule in 2010 to the league's hardest schedule in 2011.[4]
With their 2–14 record, the Rams capped a stretch from 2007 to 2011 in which they went 15–65, setting a new mark for the worst five-season span in NFL history. This mark has since been matched by the Cleveland Browns of 2013 to 2017 . To date, this is the last season with the Rams getting, at most, two victories. As of 2020, the 2011 Rams are the most recent team to score less than 200 points the entire season.
