NFL fans believe they have figured out why Bills star quarterback Josh Allen is struggling this season: the Madden Curse.
Allen’s inconsistent play is a major reason why Buffalo sits at a disappointing 5-5 on the season. He leads the league with 11 interceptions.
The two-time Pro Bowl signal-caller, who is responsible for an alarming 14 turnovers in just 10 games, has led fans to joke that his struggles in 2023 are a result of his appearance on the cover of this year’s edition of the popular video game.
Buffalo, which has lost three of its last four games, is currently on the outside looking in at the AFC playoff picture.

The Madden Curse supposes that if an athlete appears on the cover of the EA Sports video game, he is essentially doomed to suffer a serious injury or see his production fall off dramatically.
The list of NFL stars whom fans believe have been hit by the Madden Curse includes: Odell Beckham Jr., Adrian Peterson, Vince Young, Antonio Brown, Eddie George and Donovan McNabb.
Here are some of the best reactions from fans on social media:
