On Tuesday night’s “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon, Detroit native and lifelong Detroit Lions fan Jeff Daniels made an appearance and introduced the national audience to a history lesson on the Lions. Daniels grabbed his guitar and performed an original song called “The Curse of Bobby Layne.”
To the uninitiated, the curse dates back to the 1950s. The Lions traded for Layne in 1950, and the Hall of Fame quarterback helped lead the Lions to three championships in 1952, 1953, and their most recent one in 1957—although he broke his leg prior to the championship game in 1957.
