With the attention of the NFL world turning to the 2016 campaign, it's easy for the memories of last season to become fuzzy and for some of the most surprising aspects to be forgotten.

Well, allow us to jog your memory with five statistics from the 2015 season that will make you ask:

Wait, what?!

Darren McFadden rushed for 1,089 yards

After the Dallas Cowboys drafted Ezekiel Elliott with the fourth overall pick in this year's draft and acquired Alfred Morris in free agency, it's easy to forget that Darren McFadden did little to warrant being so unceremoniously pushed down the depth chart.

McFadden's 1,089 rushing yards was the fourth-most in the league, with only seven rushers breaking the 1,000-yard mark.

Yes, McFadden played behind what's considered to be the best offensive line in the league, but he hadn't come close to rushing for over 1,000 yards since 2010.

Because of the Cowboys' poor season, McFadden's resurgent campaign will likely continue to be forgotten.

Kirk Cousins led the NFL in completion percentage

At the end of every season, the usual names are at the top of the completion percentage statistic: Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Philip Rivers, etc.

It's one of the few statistics that's reserved for the elite-level passers, but in 2015, that changed.

Kirk Cousins topped the league with a completion percentage of 69.8 percent, a mark that was the eighth-best number in NFL history.

Regardless of if you believe Cousins is or isn't a franchise quarterback, he likely would have been one of your last choices if asked who was the league's most accurate passer in 2015.

Doug Baldwin caught 10 TDs in 4-week stretch

From Weeks 12-15 of last season, Seattle Seahawks wideout Doug Baldwin appeared to take part in some kind of body swap with a young Jerry Rice.

Baldwin was simply dominant, catching 10 touchdown passes over the four-game period, helping him lead the league in the category by season's end.

With all due respect to Baldwin (who's one of the league's most underrated receivers), this wasn't Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, or Rob Gronkowski going nuts in the end zone, it was a 5-foot-10, 189-pound Baldwin.

To give his achievement even better perspective, the 10 touchdown catches represent 34.5 percent of his total career scores. He has 19 touchdown catches in the other 68 games he's appeared in.

Blaine Gabbert led league with 123.5 passer rating in red zone

Despite his bust status, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert isn't without skill. However, no one would ever label him as efficient or as a good decision-maker.

But in 2015, Gabbert put up some otherworldly numbers in the red zone.

His 123.5 passer rating led all qualifying quarterbacks (min. 30 attempts), as did his 70 percent completion percentage and 5.6 yards per attempt within 20 yards of the end zone. Gabbert threw eight touchdowns, while not throwing a pick or taking a sack.

Maybe he's a franchise quarterback after all?!

Seahawks-Steelers produce first 39-30 score in NFL history

The Seahawks and the Pittsburgh Steelers faced off in Week 12 of last season, and the game produced a result that had never been happened before.

Before this contest, a game had never ended with a 39-30 score in NFL history, with the unique result fueled by the Steelers' new love of the two-point attempt.

A successful two-point attempt by Pittsburgh late in the second quarter set off a domino effect, forcing the next three touchdowns scored to attempt - and fail - the two-pointer.

Even more bizarre, is the fact that it was the Seahawks' sixth season in a row with a score that had never before occurred in history.
