NFL Curses Are Real..

Why do some NFL teams ALWAYS WIN, while others seem forever doomed for failure? Turns out, some NFL teams are just straight-up CURSED.
Whether you’re a true believer or not, it’s difficult to deny that “metaphysical forces flow through this league,”. And nobody is safe, because it’s affecting players, teams, and all of NFL History!

Im surprised you didn’t include the NFC East division curse where a team hasn’t won the division twice in a row since 2004. I get it doesn’t have to do with a single team, but man, some unlucky events have happened over the years in order to hold up this curse.

[@michaelharrington75]

Yeah, and the Eagles had winning it 2 years in a row wrapped up last season, but somehow managed to implode during the last few games of the season, giving the title to Dallas. I thought for sure the Eagles were gonna break the curse.

[@davidalexander8996]

The Cincinnati Bengals could make a case for the "Bill Walsh curse". When Paul Brown retired as coach after the 1975 season he stupidly refused to hire his offensive coordinator, Bill Walsh, to succeed him. Walsh won two of his three Super Bowls at the expense of his former team and the Bengals still haven't done better than a runner up finish to the Rams following the 2021 season.

You forgot one curse. William McKinley in Buffalo. Legend says that the assassination of the former president has condemned Buffalo to fail every time it takes the nation's center stage. 4 straight Super Bowl losses, The Skate in the Crease, the Music City Miracle, Two Wide Rights, a hockey team that couldn't win the big one in the 90s and 2000s, and the 13-second game. Yeah, thats rough. And I have a feeling that if the Orioles don't win a World Series with Rutschman, and Henderson, and if the Ravens don't win a Super Bowl with Lamar, Baltimore will have a curse of their own. That would be the Curse of Freddie Gray. Since that incident in 2015, both teams have gone a combined 2-9 in the playoffs.

There's a long list of victims of that curse. Buck Showalter not putting in Zach Britton against the Blue Jays in 2016, the National Anthem protests in London by the Ravens, the Immaculate Extension, 4th and 12, losing to a 6th-seeded Titans team without even scoring a TD in the Divisional Round, the Chris Davis signing blowing up spectacularly, being responsible for having the biggest COVID outbreak in the league during 2020, a city that crumbled not once but twice as the #1 seed in 2023, and then you have the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The Orioles and Ravens also have a combined 2-9 record in the playoffs since then.

slight correction on Marcus Allen. NFL players unlike baseball players don't get enshrined representing a particular team. His plaque under his bust will list the teams and the years he played for them. ie, Earl Campbell's best years were with the Oilers,but he went in as a Saint as well

A side note to the curse of bobby layne.

So the only Lombardi Trophy awarded in the city of Detroit went to.....Pittsburg, with Detroit native Jerome Bettis taking the MVP.
