The Chargers went 5-11 in 2016, but a deeper look shows that their record certainly wasn't indicative of their play.

A team's final record isn't always the best indicator of how well they played in a given year, just like your body weight isn't the best indicator of how healthy you are.

Take the San Diego Chargers of 2016, for example. They finished with just five wins and were -- record-wise -- one of the worst teams in football. To any casual NFL fan, the Chargers were bad. They were borderline really bad.
