Who did the Curse Wheel curse?
- Los Angeles Rams (#3)
Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?
- YES; the Rams lost to the Seattle Seahawks 27-31
How Bad Was the Curse?
- The Rams had a few chances to take control of the game but the cards were perpetually stacked against them. Even tho the Rams had more total yards overall and the Seahawks had more penalties, the Rams couldn’t get anything done. The Seahawks stopped 7 out of 8 3rd Down plays from the Rams, and also had a crucial turnover on downs with 4:59 left in the 4th Quarter, ultimately sealing the game for the Seahawks.
- If the Curse cursed the Rams, it stands to reason that it blessed the Seahawks in return. Sam Darnold became the first QB from his draft class to reach the Super Bowl (1st round of 2018 Draft)… before Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield.
- And in blessing the Seahawks, Vikings fans are now stuck in a liminal space between “what could have been” and “what never was”. Meanwhile, with Darnold going to the Super Bowl, his place in the 2026 Pro Bowl was filled by Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff.
