The Green Bay Packers are currently the most successful team of the season. They have scored a respectable 13-3 record and have claimed the No. 1 seed in the NFC; it looks as if the Packers will dominate their way through the playoffs too. And since Aaron Rodgers himself is having an MVP-worthy season, it’s hard to suspect that something wrong might happen.
However, Rodgers recently appeared on the MNF ‘Manningcast’ and now it seems that there is one thing that could go wrong. And that’s the Manningcast curse. As the rumor goes, the curse has been prevalent throughout the season and has spared none, not even Tom Brady.

The curse has affected players like Russell Wilson, Josh Allen to even Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford. But now it seems that Aaron Rodgers is going to break the curse as the season ends. As far as Rodgers’ toe injury is concerned, the quarterback said:
