Recording Perna's Curse Wheel Results

Category: Denver Broncos

Perna’s favorite team may or may not have the skill to escape the curse.

  • 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 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.
