Tampa Bay Curse


THE SIX KINGS
 Share

Recommended Posts

The Tampa Bay Curse is a sports hex that affects NFL teams that lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No team that has lost to Tampa Bay during the regular season has gone on to win the Super Bowl in the same season.Tampa Bay is the only NFL team to hold that distinction, and through 2009, it is still active. The curse may be related to the historical bad luck and poor performance of the franchise. Tampa Bay won Super Bowl XXXVII but there is no sign that the victory has relieved the effects of the curse.

The Jets' Merger Curse

 

At the conclusion of the 1968 football season in January 1969, the New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. This was the first time that a team from the American Football League (AFL) defeated a team from the National Football League (NFL) for a championship. The outcome of the game damaged the pride of the NFL. The Jets won a second straight AFL Eastern Division title in the 1969 season, but failed to reach the Super Bowl.

 

For 1970, the AFL and NFL merged, bringing the Jets and the other nine AFL teams into the NFL. These teams (along with the Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers) were merged into the new American Football Conference (AFC) of the NFL.

 

In their first NFL season, the Jets won only four games and lost ten. From 1970 to 2008, the Jets lost 336 regular season games, the most among AFC teams during that period. In addition, they were the last of the 26 NFL teams existant in '70 to win its first division title (finally doing so in 1998) under the AFC-NFC format. The Jets have never reached the Super Bowl as an AFC team in the NFL.

1998 during the Vikings 15-1 season the only game they lost was against Tampa Bay and we know what happened to the Vikings in the NFC Championship game that year. The Saints lost to Tampa Bay this years so.....Just saying :wacko:

That curse has been in place much longer than that in Minnesota.

 

Other than the Phoenix Suns, the Minnesota Vikings are the winningest sports franchise to never win a Championship game. :wacko:
