The 2017 season has some interesting similarities to the 1999 season. The Rams, Vikings, Jags, Titans, and Bills all made the playoffs both seasons (the Bills hadn't made the playoffs since 1999). In both seasons, the Rams...
...came out of nowhere to make the playoffs after having a losing record for many years.
...led the NFL in scoring after having a dreadful offense and finishing 4-12 the previous season.
...played the Titans on the road during the regular season.
...had a QB with a passer rating over 100.
...had a running back who gained over 1300 yards and led the NFL in yards from scrimmage.
...had the leading KO returner in the NFL.
...lost a meaningless game at the end of the regular season.
