Loading ...There I was watching the NFL regular season opener against the Steelers and the Titans. I saw the hit. I looked down at my cover of my Madden 10. Goosebumps. Polamalu is out with a sprained MCL. Is Fitzgerald next? The Madden Curse lives again. Goosebumps.
2004 – The Curse Begins.
Micheal Vick: suffered a leg injury that sidelined him for most of the 2003 season. Carrier evaporated after dog fighting scandal. Now back in NFL with the Eagles.
2005 – Just a Coincidence?
Ray Lewis: Placed on IR in week 8, season cut short from a torn right hamstring.
2006 – Things Get Weird.
Donovan McNabb: November 19th, 2006 in a game against Tennessee, McNabb tore his ACL while attempting to scramble out of bounds which left him sidelined for the remainder of the season. Spooky.
2007 – Alexander the Not-So-Great.
Sean Alexander: sustained a foot injury that caused him to miss six starts. As a result, Alexander’s rushing statistics were substantially less than those from the previous season, and he never returned to true form.
2008 – WTF?
Vince Young: On September 7th 2008 Vince Young sustained a knee injury which put him out of the game. He has not yet regained his starting quarterback position since he was relieved by backup quarterback Kerry Collins.
2009 – Brett Favre? Really?
Brett Favre: Brett Favre was on the cover of Madden 09 and he was subsequently injured with a torn biceps ligament and his performance declined during the last six games of the 2008 NFL Season.
2010 – Goosebumps.
Troy Polamalu: On September 10th 2009, Strong Safety Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers sprained his MCL in the season opener against the Tennessee Titans.
Larry Fitzgerald: Time will tell.
