If you’re a Detroit Lions fan, you know about this one.

So this one’s for everyone else out there: the Detroit Lions have been an NFL franchise since 1930, when they were the Portsmouth Spartans. They became the Lions in 1934 and last won an NFL championship in 1957 before there was a Super Bowl.

This brings us to the Curse of Bobby Layne. Back in 1958, the Lions traded Layne to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and an angry Layne allegedly declared the Lions wouldn’t win a title for 50 years.

Now, if that curse was a thing, it would have expired by now, right? And Peyton Manning and actor Jeff Daniels have been trying to get rid of it, too.

So … we’ll see this year if it’s gone.
