Due to the long layoff between NFL seasons, memories of the previous year can easily become murky, especially the ones that don't seem real.
Let's take a quick trip down memory lane to remind you of five statistics from the 2016 season that will make you ask, "How in the hell?!"
Gurley had only 2 rushes of 20 yards or more
As a rookie, Todd Gurley looked set for superstardom. But to say his sophomore season was a disappointment would be putting it lightly - fantasy football fans will likely never forgive him.
Whether it was due to the Los Angeles Rams' terrible offensive line, uninspiring play-calling, or the complete lack of threat from the passing game, Gurley struggled to create big plays.
In fact, despite playing all 16 games, Gurley somehow managed to produce just two rushes of 20 yards or more. Yes, two! The back carried the ball 278 times, meaning he produced a 20-plus-yard rush on less than 1 percent of his carries. In contrast, Gurley had 11 20-plus and five 40-plus rushes on 229 attempts in 2015.
For a player of his supposed talent, it's crazy to think he was essentially neutered for the entire campaign.
Bradford set record for single-season completion percentage (71.6)
After a torrid start, the Vikings were fairly unremarkable for the rest of the 2016 campaign, which meant few noticed what a solid season Sam Bradford put together in his first year in Minnesota.
While Bradford still needs to prove himself a franchise player in the eyes of most, he did something that no other quarterback in NFL history has achieved before.
Already known as an accurate passer, Bradford took this area of his game to a whole new level, finishing the campaign with an NFL-record 71.6 completion percentage.
In a season of strong quarterback play, it's easy to forget Bradford made history in 2016.
Falcons scored just 2 fewer TDs (6) in L.A. than the Rams (8)
Watching the Rams on offense last season was a painful experience. They were one of the least productive units in the league, scoring just 24 touchdowns in 16 games.
And in a bizarre twist, the Rams were even worse when they played in their home of Los Angeles as opposed to on the road. In the seven games the Rams played in L.A. (they gave up one home game to play in London), they produced a measly eight total touchdowns.
In the Falcons' blowout 42-14 December win in L.A., Atlanta found the end zone six times, meaning they had more touchdowns in the City of Angels than the Rams did (five) at that point of the season. The Rams needed three Week 17 scores to save them from an utterly embarrassing stat (though still ended up with a pretty embarrassing one).
Wentz threw 5 fewer passes as rookie than in whole college career
Carson Wentz wasn't even supposed to see the field during his rookie season. But the North Dakota State graduate forced his way into the starting lineup, and the Eagles weren't shy about testing out their young gunslinger's arm.
During his four college seasons, Wentz appeared in 42 games, with the majority of his snaps coming in his last two years as the team's starter. But injuries were an issue for Wentz in college, causing him to throw just 612 passes in his entire career.
In his first year in the NFL, Wentz attempted 607 - a little shy of Andrew Luck's record for attempts by a rookie quarterback.
Bush rushed for negative-3 yards on 12 carries
This a record that no running back wants to own.
While many people likely remember Reggie Bush's rushing struggles from last season, this stat is so ridiculous that it had to make the list.
While with the Buffalo Bills, Bush had just 12 carries in 2016 ... for negative-3 yards, becoming the first non-quarterback with 10-plus carries to finish a campaign with negative yards since 1970.
Bush has two 1,000-yard campaigns on his resume, so it's more of a freak stat than an indictment of his talent. The 32-year-old did somehow have a rushing touchdown and 90 receiving yards, too, so his unenviable achievement shouldn't sting too badly.
