This is where the so-called ‘Manning Curse’ that was born as a new curse and It is similar to the one already famous to appear on the cover of the video game Madden and we are not talking about one or two coincidences, but many more.
Like the ‘Damn Madden‘, in which after appearing on the cover of the video game, the following season the chosen player has a terrible year with his team, either due to performance or some serious injuries have fallen, but they are coincidences … or not? Well, now Let’s explain the ‘Manning Curse’.

And that’s no matter who they are or who they’re up against. There have been six players who have been attacked by the ‘Manning Curse’ because in this week 9 it fell to someone almost unthinkable against the easiest opponent, in theory.
Josh Allen was invited in the game on Monday night of week 8 of the NFL, for week 9 he faced the Jaguars, one of the worst teams in the entire league. They came as the highest scoring team and not only did they lose, but they couldn’t score a single point, in addition, Josh Allen had a game to forget.
Work of the ‘Manning Curse’? It was surely a coincidence – or so we hope – because no one will want to go to the broadcast of the brothers and the MNF. We are going to make a count of those affected by this curse.
Those affected by this curse:
- Travis Kelce was a guest on the MNF in week 1 and Chiefs lost in week 2
- Russell Wilson was also part of the broadcast on the MNF from week 1 and lost in week 2
- Rob Gronkowski invited in week 2 and the Buccaneers lost in week 3
- Matthew Stafford went on the Manning Brothers broadcast in week 3 and lost in week 4 to the Rams
- Tom Brady was invited in week 7 by the Manning brothers and lost in week 8
- Josh Allen, was on week 8 broadcast and lost to Jaguars in 9
