Recording Perna's Curse Wheel Results

Category: Curse

Status of the curse

  • Week 14, 2025

    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?

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Indianapolis Colts (#9)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Colts lost to the Houston Texans 16-20

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • Colts kicker Michael Badgley missed a PAT after the Colts’ first touchdown
    • Texans kept the Colts to 16 points, the lowest the Colts have scored this season
    • Refs were also definitely absorbing some of the Curse Wheel’s power by not calling key penalties: at 14:51 in the 4th Quarter, not only was an obvious delay of game against CJ Stroud NOT called, but then there was a phantom PI on Kenneth Moore on a 3rd and 15 to bring the Texans into the red zone to eventually score the game-winning touchdown.

  • Week 12, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Denver Broncos (#1)
    • Carolina Panthers (#13)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • INCONCLUSIVE; the Broncos were on a Bye week this week.
    • YES; the Panthers lost to the San Francisco 49ers 9-20

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Panthers picked off Brock Purdy THREE TIMES but only scored a field goal off the third pick.
    • The Panthers’ drive after their first pick ended with Bryce Young getting intercepted as well.
    • After the Panthers’ only touchdown and successfully kicking the extra point, a penalty was called against 49er Jordan Elliott for Unnecessary Roughness. This brought them up to the 1-yard line, allowing for the Panthers to go for a two-point conversion instead… only to fail that.
    • Meanwhile the Broncos had a Bye week this week, so it remains to be seen if the Broncos dodged a bullet or if the Curse Wheel will get its pound of flesh in the end.

  • Week 11, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • San Francisco 49ers (#14)
    • Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Pittsburg Steelers (#12; combined)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • NO; the 49ers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 41-22
    • NO; the Packers defeated the New York Giants 27-20
    • NO; the Bears defeated the Minnesota Vikings 19-17
    • NO; the Steelers defeated the Cincinatti Bengals 34-12

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The curse was bad, as in it’s Devil Magic was simply spread out too thin to do any damage. At best it was a minor inconvience for every team.
    • The Packers might have “suffered” the most in its game, with the Giants managing to keep a lead over the Packers through a lot of the game. The Giants might have won if it weren’t for the fact that the Giants’ own curse of blowing a 4th Quarter lead was still going strong (between a 20-19 lead at first, then getting intercepted in the end zone when trying to tie it up).
    • The Vikings managed to earn a leading Touchdown against the Bears with 50 seconds left in the 4th Quarter (making it 17-16), only for Bears WR Devin Duvernay to get a 56 yard punt return to put the Bears into field goal range to put it away.
    • The 49ers and the Steelers maintained a commanding lead in their games, and victory was rarely in doubt.
    • On the other hand, Aaron Rodgers suffered a wrist injury.

  • Week 10, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Pittsburg Steelers (#7)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Steelers lost to the Los Angeles Chargers 10-25

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • “Somehow” the Steelers went from defeating the #1 team in the AFC North to being absolute doo-doo.
    • Aaron Rodgers coughed up a Safety 5 minutes left in the 1st Quarter, the first of 25 unanswered points all game.
    • The Steelers had three turnovers, and all three came from Rodgers himself: a fumble then two interceptions. These were also the only turnovers all game.
