The 1996 St. Louis Rams season was the franchise's 59th year with the National Football League (NFL) and the second season in St. Louis. It was marked by a 59âÂÂ16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in week 11. The Ramsâ point tally in that game was the highest by an NFL team since 1989, when the Cincinnati Bengals scored 61 points. Safety Keith Lyle tied first for the league lead in interceptions, with 9. However, the Rams finished the season with a 6âÂÂ10 record. Head coach Rich Brooks was fired after the season. This was also the Rams first full season playing in the Trans World Dome.
