At this point in his legendary career, Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Tom Brady is virtually unstoppable. No amount of advanced tactics and deep-dive analytics can stop the GOAT from winning his 859th title.
Only one thing can end Brady's reign: A made-up scary curse. Hey, it's Halloween after all. Or also known these days as the First and Last Squid Game Global Reunion.
The Buccaneers suffered just their second loss of the season on Sunday night after bowing to the New Orleans Saints, 36-27. While it seems an ordinary defeat, it's quite fascinating that the defeat came at the heels of Brady's recent guesting on ESPN's ManningCast. Because apparently, according to StatMuse, every time a player comes on the show of Peyton and Eli Manning, the guy loses in their next game.
Forget the Kardashian Curse!
The Manning Curse is real.
Every time a player comes on the ManningCast, that player loses the next game.
— Kelce on Week 1, lost Week 2
— Russ on Week 1, lost Week 2
— Gronk on Week 2, lost Week 3
— Stafford on Week 3, lost Week 4
— Brady on Week 7, lost Week 8 pic.twitter.com/i5mQ29cJyJ— StatMuse (@statmuse) October 31, 2021
Brady didn't actually play awful against the Saints. He finished with impressive numbers of 28-4o, 375 yards, and four touchdowns to once again lead the Buccaneers. He, however, committed a costly interception (his second of the match) with less than 1:30 remaining in the game, which resulted in a touchdown for the Saints.
Brady had three turnovers in total, which the Saints converted to 16 points. OK, maybe there's something to this ManningCast hex.
The Buccaneers will have their bye week before facing the Washington Football Team on November 14. Maybe he could ask the Manning brothers to invite Ryan Fitzpatrick.
