Who did the Curse Wheel curse?
- New England Patriots (#3)
Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?
- NO; the Patriots defeated the New York Jets 42-10
How Bad Was the Curse?
- lol
- Ok but seriously, I don’t think the Curse Wheel was ever THIS wrong about a single team all season. Many of the other times I considered a curse to have failed still had some kind of residual effects (Joe Burrow got turf toe a week after the Bengals got cursed, two of the Steelers curses involved injuries to major players) but I don’t think anything happened to the Patriots that was remotely curse-worthy.
- Drake “Drake Maye” Maye threw five touchdown passes. The Patriots’ win percentage was already at 98% by the end of the 1st Quarter. Patriots QB Joshua Dobbs took over with 5:31 left in the 3rd Quarter. This was absolute domination by the Patriots.
- OH! Patriots Kicker Andy Borregales doinked a field goal attempt at the end of the 3rd quarter, that counts for something, right??
- UPDATE: Patriots players Christian Barmore and Stefon Diggs have since been charged with assault in or around this week’s curse. Personally I don’t see it as the team being cursed, unless you consider the team’s curse involves star players being handed the idiot ball that week. I’ll leave that for you to decide.
