Who did the Curse Wheel curse?
- Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans (#12; combined)
Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?
- YES; the Colts lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-36
- NO; the Texans defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 10-20
How Bad Was the Curse?
- Colts lose again to the Jaguars in Jacksonville for the 11th time in a row.
- Colts QB Daniel Jones suffers a right Achilles tendon injury and may be out for the season. Colts coach Shane Steichen said “it’s not looking good”.
- Meanwhile the Texans obliterate the Chiefs in a game that honestly felt like the Chiefs were the ones cursed instead. There was a doinked field goal by Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, and Mahomes threw three interceptions, including one where Kelce bobbled the ball to effectively seal the game (which was also the 10th consecutive incomplete or intercepted pass by Mahomes, a dubious career record).
- Mahomes ended the game with an embarrassing 19.8 passer rating, far worse than his previous low of 42.4 against the San Francisco 49ers last season (and even that game was still a win for KC).
- With the win by Jaguars and Texans, the Colts drop from 1st to 3rd in the AFC South.
- Perna promises that if he reaches 1 million subs this season he will burn the Curse Wheel… but that might be a problem because at least the Wheel arguably contains and restains the Curses.
- UPDATE: It’s gotten so bad that the Colts dug up retired QB Philip Rivers to be Jones’ possible replacement for the season. What, was Andrew Luck too young?
