I went to this game. Can't believe it was 35 years ago. When Everett rolled out to his right & threw that bomb to Cox, I almost jumped out of my skin with excitement. This dominant, well deserved victory didn't quite take away the pain for those narrow losses against the silver & black in '79, '82 & '85, but it sure helped. Victories are hard to come by & appreciate them all, but you relish them a lot more when the competition is against teams like the Cowboys, Steelers, & Raiders.

One of the Police Chiefs said in the LA Times this game had raiders and rams fans fighting "during the national anthem and 1 hour after the game"

This game didn't sell out in time for it to air in the L.A./Long Beach/Anaheim DMA. Hosting games at the LAMC did the Raiders no favors.

I went to this game and it was almost full about 86,000.

RAMS should have never left LA Raiders should have never left Oakland Chargers should have never left SD Cardinals should have never left St.Louis Oilers should have never left Houston Colts should have never left Baltimore

[@mreppen1]

And RIP Gary Jeter too.

[@mreppen1]

That Everett hit is no question a concussion. He would be on protocol these days.

[@mesocorny4366]

I think this is the 1 time the rai lost to the rams during their short time in la where game at rai’s home which was once rams’, rams definitely better team in the late 80s and it showed here

[@YourBoyJohnny94]

Honestly the RAMS could’ve of beat them in 1985 game at the end of the season but the RAMS already clinched the division so they dropped the game to the Raidaz

[@sengle928]

@@YourBoyJohnny94Super Bowl XX would’ve been interesting. Rams could’ve upseted the 85 Bears and Raiders were the #1 seed in the AFC.

[@bbigjohnson069]

You have the temperature as 65°F. It was more like 85°F.

[@mreppen1]

Every time I went to the Coliseum it was always hot. I hate that place.

[@dgendvil]

No Marc Wilson or Jay Schroeder starting?

[@mjoven1975]

Jay Schroeder was still learning the system as he had been recently acquired. He started the following week in Denver
