Super Bowl curse (original) (raw)

The Super Bowl curse or Super Bowl hangover is a phrase that refers to three phenomena that may occur in the National Football League (NFL). These interpretations of the Super Bowl curse are not mutually exclusive. Second, Super Bowl champions rarely win consecutive Super Bowls, compared to other professional sports leagues such as Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, or the National Hockey League. Lastly, the loser of the prior year's Super Bowl will often have a less successful season and may miss the playoffs the next year.
