How Bad Was the Curse?
- Can it really count as a Curse against the Eagles if Coach Sirianni rest all their starters? Actually, probably! See, the 11-5 Eagles and 11-5 Chicago Bears were in a battle for the #2 seed, but Sirianni undoubtedly expected the Bears (who WEREN’T resting their starters) to defeat the depleated Detroit Lions and maintain their #2 position. However, turns out the Lions had a little roar in them left and managed to defeat the Bears 19-16. Had the Eagles played a bit smarter, they could’ve defeated the Commanders and edged over the Bears for the #2 seed. Now it looks like they’re playing the #6 49ers in the Wild Card. Good luck!
- Jauan Jennings had a poor game (4 receptions on 6 targets, totalling 35 yards), but maybe his curse infected the San Francisco 49ers overall.
- But it doesn’t explain why the Seahawks survived the curse in their game against the 49ers. They scored first and kept the 49ers from anything more than a sole field goal, thus locking in their #1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
- Postseason here we come!
