The Los Angeles Rams<\/a> lost to the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> in the NFC Championship with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. It was a 31-27 loss, just four points from moving on to the Super Bowl for Sean McVay’s Rams.<\/p>\n

But that’s been the story of the season for the Rams. According to Doug Clawson of CBS Sports<\/a>, the Rams’ six losses this season (including playoffs) made some NFL history.<\/p>\n

All of their losses were close defeats. Those close defeats made some NFL history that only highlights just how brutal this season was for the Rams.<\/p>\n

Rams make heartbreaking NFL history with six razor-thin losses<\/p>\n

“The 2025 Rams epitomized the phrase… the difference between winning and losing is razor thin,” Clawson shared. Their 6 losses this season were by a combined 21 points. That adds up to the 4th-lowest average margin of defeat (-3.5) by any team in NFL history (min. 5 losses).”<\/p>\n

The Rams lost six games this season, by an average score of 3.5 points. Considering all of the special teams issues this season, that statistic feels a lot worse.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks have lost just three games, by a combined eight points. Seattle and Los Angeles were the best teams this season, and the Rams having two of their six losses come against the Seahawks isn’t a big surprise.<\/p>\n

Their first loss was a 33-26 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>; had the final blocked kick not been returned for a touchdown, their margin of defeat would’ve been even lower than it already is.<\/p>\n

The Rams then lost 26-23 to the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> in overtime in Week 5. Then in Week 13, they lost 31-28 to the Carolina Panthers<\/a>. A few weeks later, the Rams lost 38-37 to the Seahawks and then 27-24 to the Atlanta Falcons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If Jordan Davis didn’t return a meaningless blocked kick for a touchdown, the Rams would’ve lost all six of their games this season by 2.5 points. One field goal per-game, and the Rams, in theory, could’ve been undefeated.<\/p>\n

As if the 2025 Rams season couldn’t be any more heartbreaking, this statistic makes things even worse for the Rams. It was a year of agonizingly close losses, and the latest one in the NFC Championship will sting for a long time.<\/p>\n
