Faithful to the Curse

  • Week 4, 2026

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • San Francisco 49ers (#1)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • NO; the 49ers defeated the Denver Broncos 24-14.

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • Ok it’s 100% obvious that someone switched the Curse Wheel to be the “Bless Wheel” this season, because basically everyone has beaten it this year. Maybe the NFL has caught on?
    • At best you can say that the Curse kept the game close for the first half, when the 49ers finally tied things up 3-3 with 1:36 left in the 2nd Quarter. And Denver kept it within a one-score game with 2:29 left in the 4th Quarter. But the Niners won in the end, and there was never a time the Broncos has a greater than 50% chance of winning.
    • Sure 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk was injured before the game, but the Broncos lost three players to injuries during the game: CB Pat Surtain II, CB Riley Moss and WR Pat Bryant. So the Broncos was really the cursed team here.

    Current Curse Win Percentage: 0.200 (1/5 teams cursed)

  • 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.
