The Broncos utterly destroyed the Cowboys, so it managed to resist the wheel’s curse powers this time.
That said, TECHNICALLY the Curse Wheel cursed the team at #6, but Perna placed the Broncos at #666, which has its own slot on the wheel. So it might be that the wheel cursed no team this week.
Also because only one 6 was cursed versus the full 666, maybe the curse was only at 1/3rd power and thus only took Patrick Surtain II out for 4-6 weeks.
The Giants were up 19-0 at the start of the 4th quarter
The Broncos managed to score all 33 points in that 4th quarter
Four would-be points from the Giants were missed due to a failed 2-pt conversion and two failed PATs by Giants Kicker Jude McAtamney; in fact, the last failed PAT was after the score was 32, meaning a successful PAT then could’ve just tied up the game.
9/16 successful curses recorded (0.563) after Week 11
One curse was against Perna himself, and that curse was successful.
Two of the three unsuccessful curses prior to Week 11 still had residual effects: Week 1‘s curse on the Bengals might have cursed their season with Joe Burrow being out with Turf Toe during Week 2, and Week 8‘s curse on the Broncos was at 1/3rd power and only took Patrick Surtain II out for 4-6 weeks.
The only team to TRULY beat the Curse Wheel (so far) has been the Philadelpha Eagles in Week 2. Bear in mind that Saquon Barkley’s poor performance is due to the Madden Curse, which is a completely unrelated curse.
Week 11 had four curses and all failed due to the Curse Wheel’s devil magic spread out too thin.
5 successful curse streak! (Weeks 3-7)
Indianapolis Colts are currently the only team to be cursed twice and lose both those games (Week 4, Week 9)
The Pittsburg Steelers and Green Bay Packers got cursed twice but both survived the second one (their second curses were from in Week 11).

ME = #15 and #16 were removed after Week 3 and replaced with “Me personally” and an extra #1, respectively. Their spins in Week 3 are ignored… at my own peril.
(Who knows how any of this shit works. The Curse Wheel works in mysterious ways.)
YES; the Seahawks lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-38
How Bad Was the Curse?
In a QB dual between two former teammates, Darnold got intercepted on SEA 38 with less than a minute to go with a tied 35-35 game. This set the Bucs up for an easy field goal to end the game.
Also the curse encouraged a big mouthed Seahawks fan to taunt Baker Mayfield into pushing hard to prove them wrong.
