This is just for fun, don’t take any of this shit personally.

You guys know the Curse Of Bobby Layne right? The Lions Quarterback who won three NFL Championships for them in the 50s. He was traded shortly after the 57 championship to the Steelers for Earl Morrall. He then made the statement that the Lions would “not win for 50 years.” And it worked, Bobby Layne himself cursed the Lions. They were the worst team in the NFL for 50 years, and the final year of that curse was when they went 0-16. Now as you probably know the Lions are currently one of the best teams in the league but until they win the Super Bowl, one can’t say the curse has ended.

What teams do you guys think have a curse going on? A couple I came up with was:

  • Browns: The Curse of Paul Brown
  • Bengals: The Curse of Bill Walsh
  • Jets: The Curse of Joe Namath
