Notes: Lions are 12-3 since exorcism of Bobby Layne curse

Putting an end to the discussion of whether curses are real, it’s been discovered the Detroit Lions are on an incredibly hot winning streak since the curse of Bobby Layne was lifted last fall.

In an episode of the Omaha Production series “Peyton’s Places,” Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning enlisted the help of Hollywood actors and Lions fans Jeff Daniels and Keegan-Michael Key to break an infamous curse that has hung over the franchise for decades.

Legend tells (*said in spooky voice*) that former Lions quarterback Bobby Layne cursed the Lions to 50 years of bad luck after he was traded just two games into the season after Detroit won the 1957 championship.
