If you have 15 or more wins in the regular season, you can't win the Super Bowl?

It's one of the most widespread Super Bowl curses in the NFL, and only two teams have ever done so since the league's restructuring in 1978 – the San Francisco 49ers in 1984 and the Chicago Bears in 1985, and no team has broken that curse for 27 years.

It is worth mentioning that the San Francisco 49ers in the 1984 season are also one of the strongest teams in history, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a free kick in the sixth week of the regular season, reaching the playoffs with an excellent record of 15 wins and one loss, defeating the New York Giants 21-10 in the division round, defeating the Chicago Bears 23-0 in the league finals, and beating the Miami Dolphins in the Super Bowl 38-16. That was Joe Montana's second championship ring.

The following year, the Chicago Bears were even more brutal, with a clean sweep against the New York Giants in the divisional round, a clean sheet against the Los Angeles Rams in the conference finals, and the Super Bowl created the largest point margin in history to defeat the New England Patriots to reach the top. Interestingly, the indirect connection is that the Super Bowl of the 1985 season took place at the Louisiana Super Dome.

The Louisiana Super Dome, now the Mercedes-Benz Super Dome, was the site of the 2012 Super Bowl. That's kind of ...... Reincarnation?

Now the question arises, will the San Francisco 49ers be able to break the spell in 2012? Joe Montana had reached the top in the 1984 season, but that was 28 years ago, so what will the San Francisco 49ers do in the face of such a long curse across the centuries? And how will it end?

This will undoubtedly be another highlight of this year's Super Bowl.

In addition to the all-win curse, there is a very, very wonderful curse in the league, even known as the curse: the MVP curse.

Put simply, the regular season MVP winner won't win the Super Bowl.

In the 2009 season, regular season MVP Indianapolis Pony Peyton Manning Jr. lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl.

In the 2007 season, New England Patriot Tom Brady, the MVP of the regular season, lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

In the 2002 season, regular season MVP Oakland Raiders Rich-Gannon lost to the Tampa Bay Pirates in the Super Bowl.

In the 2001 season, regular season MVP St. Louis Rams Kurt Warner, lost to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

In short, since the beginning of the new century, no player has been able to break such a curse, and except for the above three seasons, the regular season MVP of other seasons has not even been able to make it to the Super Bowl stage, which is definitely not a curse, but a curse!

It stands to reason that the regular season MVP is the best summary of the whole season, not only the individual performance of the players, but also the performance of the whole team, otherwise a team loses in a row, and only one player shines, which will not make people feel the strength of this player. It can be simply thought of as a regular season MVP as a comprehensive consideration for the player and the team.

But now, the team that has been the MVP of the regular season for 12 consecutive seasons has lost the Super Bowl? That's a bit ...... Uncanny.

The last time such a curse was broken was in the 1999 season, when regular season MVP Kurt Warner of the St. Louis Rams defeated the Tennessee Titans in the Super Bowl and created the Cinderella myth of undrafted rookies!

Wait, it always feels a little weird.

Kurt Warner, Lu Ke.

Ke Lu, Kurt Warner.

The experiences of these two undrafted quarterbacks are so similar, no one cares about them in the draft, but then they successfully completed a strong counterattack in the round and round and created their own glory. In last year's rookie season, all aspects of Lu Ke were compared horizontally with Kurt, and many people thought that Lu Ke was replicating the miracle of Kurt that year, although Lu Ke did not enter the Super Bowl in his rookie season, but all the trajectories were still exceptionally close.

Right now...... The curse of the all-win season was broken by the former San Francisco 49ers; The regular season MVP curse was also broken by Kurt, the former undrafted quarterback. Then it was Lu Ke's turn, did this imply something?

In fact, the regular season MVP curse came after the millennium, and the historical roots are far less thick than the all-win curse.

In the last century, the curse of the regular season MVP does not exist at all, and every player who wins such glory is bound to be the most outstanding and outstanding strong man of the year, and it is also the corresponding favorite in the playoffs, because the single-game format of the Super Bowl does have many games in which the regular season MVP unfortunately loses, but in turn, the regular season MVP wins the Super Bowl There are really a lot of games -

Denver Broncos' running back Terrell-Davis and Green Bay Packers' Brett Favre both topped the Super Bowl after winning the regular season MVP; The San Francisco 49ers' two legends, Joe Montana and Steve Young, also accomplished such feats in the 1989 and 1994 seasons, respectively.

But after entering the 21st century, the situation has changed, Peyton Manning has won the regular season MVP four times, Tom Brady has won the regular season MVP award twice, and Aaron Rodgers also won the regular season MVP in the 2011 season, but these three elite quarterbacks have all failed in the playoffs in the season when they won the regular season MVP, which is really confusing.

Countless experts and coaches have painstakingly studied the specific reasons, but in the end they can only find an outline.

First, the regular season MVP has chosen a running guard or quarterback for 26 consecutive years, which also means that the team's excellent record in the regular season largely depends on the MVP himself's performance, and after entering the playoffs and even the Super Bowl, they will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

In the 2002 season, Oakland Raiders quarterback Rich Ganon led the team into the Super Bowl, but in the face of the best defensive group in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history, Gannon, who only made 10 interceptions in 16 games in the regular season, made five interceptions in a single game of the Super Bowl, directly burying the team's possibility of winning the championship.

In the 2003 season, Steve McNair of the Tennessee Titans and Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts were both named regular season MVPs, but the former was intercepted three times by the Baltimore Ravens in the wild card game and the latter was swept four times by the New England Patriots' targeted defense in the National League finals.

The regular season MVP is highly anticipated, but at the same time, there is no defensive coach who will not do in-depth research and focus on defense.

Second, the awarding of the regular season MVP takes into account the team's overall record and state, but after all, it is still an individual award, and on the Super Bowl stage, if the MVP's teammates play abnormally, then he is alone and helpless.

The most typical case is the 2006 season, running back LaDainian-Tomlinson led the San Diego Lightning to an excellent record of 14 wins and two losses, and won all of them at home, got the top seed of the American League, and faced the New England Patriots at home in the divisional stage.

In this game, Tomlinson ran 23 yards and two touchdowns with the ball 23 times, and received the ball from 64 yards; Meanwhile, the defensive team also produced three interceptions and one drop by Brady, but ...... That's still not enough. Because last season, Drew Brice left for the New Orleans Saints in disheartenedness, while Philip Rivers made his first appearance as a regular quarterback in his career.

Facing the first playoff game of his life, Rivers repeatedly tightened up and wasted opportunities at critical moments, after the defensive team intercepted Brady three times, Rivers dropped the ball once, hesitated twice in third gear and couldn't make a shot, resulting in a tackle, and the ball conversion caused by three interceptions was all wasted.

"21:24", the San Diego Lightning lost to the New England Patriots by such a narrow disadvantage and went out of the divisional round.

The San Diego Chargers, who have yet to win the Super Bowl, missed out on what may be their best chance to win the championship in franchise history. Tomlinson also regretted after the game that if the team hadn't let go of Drew Bliss, they might have won the championship that year.

Third, that is, the time is not good, I play normally, but the opponent behaves against the sky, and the result can only be a sigh.

The 2010 regular season MVP was Tom Brady, and the New England Patriots faced the New York Jets defense led by Darrell "Island King" Reeves in the divisional round.

This pair of sworn enemies in the same zone knew everything about it, and there were no surprises at all, but in that divisional game, the Jets defense team broke out in full force and completely locked Brady to death; Even more incredible was the fact that second-year quarterback Mark Sanchez had a stellar record of three touchdowns at Gillette Field, and even he couldn't believe it after the game.

In the regular season just a month ago, the Patriots had a "45-3" bloodbath against the Jets, but the relationship between the two sides in the playoffs was reversed.

For various reasons, both subjective and objective exist, and even the league's most famous "Madden Game Cover Curse" has been an exception, but the "Regular Season MVP Curse" has always been the same, even if it is a general who does not believe in evil, it is inevitable to sigh.

Madden Game (Madden-NFL) is a sports game that simulates American football, equivalent to FIFA Online of football, this game cooperates with the NFL official, is known for its authenticity and data integrity, and has always occupied the top spot in the North American market sports games, and every year Madden will announce the cover character of the game next season in the offseason.

But since 2000, when the previous season's top performers were used as covers, the curse was born: if you were selected as the cover feature, the rest of the season was bound to start to be unlucky, either with a significant drop in performance compared to the previous one, or an injury that cost you the rest of the season.

Marshall-Faulk ended his season early in 2003 due to injury; Ray Lewis ended the season early in 2005 due to injury, and so on. However, there are exceptions to this curse, and in 2012 Calvin Johnson set a new record for a single season of wide receivers in the league with 1,964 receiving yards.

In other words, even the "Madden Game Curse" has exceptions, but the "Regular Season MVP Curse" has been the same for thirteen years, which ...... What to do?
