The 2009 St. Louis Rams season is the 72nd season for the St. Louis Rams, and the 15th in St. Louis. Due to the Rams winning only against the Detroit Lions, they finished with the NFL's worst record at 1–15, earning the first overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft in Steve Spagnuolo's first season as a head coach. The Rams have won six games in the past three seasons. By contrast, the Cardinals never won fewer than four games in any season during their tenure in St. Louis from 1960 through 1987.
