Status of the curse

  • Week 9, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Indianapolis Colts (#1)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Colts lost to the Pittsburg Steelers 20-27

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Colts had SIX turnovers this game.
    • They also lost to the Steelers, who lost to the Packers last week, who in turn lost to the Panthers this week. By transitive property it means now the Colts are worse than the Panthers. It’s math, look it up.
    • This is actually the second time the Colts have been cursed; the first was in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, and they lost both those games. The final scores for both was also 20-27. If you don’t believe in the powers of the Curse Wheel, the Colts have otherwise won every other game they played. They’re currently 7-2; they might have been the only undefeated team if not for the Curse Wheel.

  • Week 8, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Denver Broncos (#6… or #666?)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • NO; the Broncos defeated the Dallas Cowboys 44-24

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Broncos utterly destroyed the Cowboys, so it managed to resist the wheel’s curse powers this time.
    • That said, TECHNICALLY the Curse Wheel cursed the team at #6, but Perna placed the Broncos at #666, which has its own slot on the wheel. So it might be that the wheel cursed no team this week.
    • Also because only one 6 was cursed versus the full 666, maybe the curse was only at 1/3rd power and thus only took Patrick Surtain II out for 4-6 weeks.

  • Week 7, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • New York Giants (#13)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Giants lost to the Denver Broncos 32-33

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Giants were up 19-0 at the start of the 4th quarter
    • The Broncos managed to score all 33 points in that 4th quarter
    • Four would-be points from the Giants were missed due to a failed 2-pt conversion and two failed PATs by Giants Kicker Jude McAtamney; in fact, the last failed PAT was after the score was 32, meaning a successful PAT then could’ve just tied up the game.

  • Week 6, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • First Spin: Perna personally
    • Second Spin: Detroit Lions (#1)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • First Spin: YES; Perna cut himself and his chair exploded
    • Second Spin: YES; the Lions lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 17-30

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • It doubly cursed Perna as a Broncos fan by giving extra strength to the Chiefs
    • The Lions had a touchdown called back on a penalty because of a rule no one knew until someone had to dig it up.
    • The Chiefs had ZERO accepted penalties called on them
    • Brian Branch got a one game suspension for punching JuJu Smith-Schuster postgame

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Seattle Seahawks (#8)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Seahawks lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-38

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • In a QB dual between two former teammates, Darnold got intercepted on SEA 38 with less than a minute to go with a tied 35-35 game. This set the Bucs up for an easy field goal to end the game.
    • Also the curse encouraged a big mouthed Seahawks fan to taunt Baker Mayfield into pushing hard to prove them wrong.
