The Rams open their 2025 NFL season on Sunday when the Texans visit Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium for the first time ever for a Week 1 showdown.
Both teams dominated their divisions last year. The Rams captured the NFC West, while the Texans took the AFC South, but both ended their campaigns in the Divisional Round, falling 28-22 to the Eagles and 34-10 to the Ravens, respectively.
For the Rams, veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford enters his 17th NFL season, and he will play the opener despite dealing with a back injury that troubled him throughout the preseason. Los Angeles boasts a ferocious defense, but all eyes will be on the revamped passing attack of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, who must build chemistry with Stafford to make an impact quickly.
Houston will miss the services of running back Joe Mixon for atleast the first four games in the season after being sidelined with an ankle injury since July. That leaves Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, a Southern California native, to shoulder much of the load as he prepares for a potential homecoming, returning to Los Angeles for the first time as a pro.
