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.
