Overall stats for the Curse Wheel this season:
- 15/27 successfully cursed teams recorded (0.555) by Week 18
- 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.
- Week 11 had four curses and all failed due to the Curse Wheel’s devil magic spread out too thin.
- Indianapolis Colts are currently the only team to be cursed four times and lose ALL games (Week 4, Week 9, Week 13, Week 14); the Colts ultimately went from 8-1 to 8-9.
- Despite starting off strong, the Curse Wheel has started to falter later in the Season. Here are all the teams that undeniably beat the Curse Wheel:
- 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.
- the Houston Texans in Week 14; honestly it almost looks like their opponent that week—the Kansas City Chiefs—were the ones who were cursed instead
- the Pittsburg Steelers in Week 15; no one was injured in the game itself (only TJ Watt suffered a punctured lung one day after the Steelers got cursed)… but Steelers themselves played great ball… a bit weak in the first half but that was it
- the New England Patriots in Week 17; complete domination of the Jets. Drake Maye had a career high 5TD passes. Starters rested by the 3rd quarter. Nothing curse worthy all game.
- the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18; a low scoring 13-3 game, but ultimately the Seahawks locked in their #1 NFC seed position over the San Francisco 49ers.
- the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card Week; out of all the Failed Curses this season, this was maybe the closest the Curse Wheel got to actually winning out, with only a crucial TD with 0:38 remaining in the 4th Quarter allowing the Rams to win.
- NOTE: all the Week 11 teams did not face the full power of the Curse Wheel
