‘Peyton Curse’: Josh Allen’s Pre-Game Photo With Peyton Manning Going Viral For All the Wrong Reasons

The NFL is now down to its business end. With the divisional rounds underway, teams are fighting with all their grit to have a chance at making the Super Bowl. One of the most awaited match-ups this week has been the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals game. While Josh Allen and Joe Burrow duke it out on the field, it will make for one special spectacle.

Among the fans who showed up to show their favorite teams some love. AFC Pro Bowl coach Peyton Manning also showed up at Buffalo after being previously spotted in Philadelphia. The Denver Broncos legend and his son, who was sporting an Eagles jersey to spite his uncle Eli Manning, were snapped with Allen posing for a pregame photo.

Did Peyton Manning curse Josh Allen?

The official Buffalo Bills page on Twitter shared a picture of Josh, Peyton, and his son, Marshall, this time wearing a no.17 Bills jersey. The Caption reads, “BIG Josh Allen fans.”

The wholesome post packs quite a surprise. On further inspection of the replies from the fans, one can notice a general anxiety stemming from the fears of getting the Peyton curse.

While this fan fears that Peyton would bring the same luck to the Bills as Eli did to the New York Giants Yesterday. The Eagles defeated their divisional rivals and Eli’s team 38-7.

What’s the fear about?

The Manning brothers run a show on ESPN, called the ManningCast, which covers the Monday Night games. The NFL community picked up on the drops in the forms of current players who went on the show with good streaks and came back with an odd performance or two. Since then, the curse has been a powerful tool of fear in the league.

Could you blame them? The Bills are already down by two scores in the first quarter itself. On the other hand, they are yet to get on the score sheet after failing to reply to their opposition’s 14 points.

In addition to the curse, the sudden change of allegiance from Marshal has also caught the attention of the fans. The 12-year-old was seen wearing a Jalen Hurts jersey last night with his uncle Eli in attendance. But tonight it’s all about no.17.

Contrary to the people who are fearing the curse, this fan thinks the kid actually comes with good news for the Bills Mafia.

The winner of this game will be going to the AFC championship game where Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will be waiting to put on another great show for the NFL world.
