There are people who still blame Bobby Layne and his curse for the Detroit Lions‘ troubles. In the annals of NFL history, this curse is one that seems to have been prophetic but is it? Layne was traded in 1958, the year after winning a third title (the last in Detroit), and while packing for Chicago he infamously cursed the team to 50 years of losing.
The Lions are coming off of a different kind of season in 2018, having won only six games. It is time to address the culpability of the brain trust of the Lions and the importance of 2019.
