The Lions were 1-6 the day this aired, finished the season 8-2, then went 12-5 and won 2 playoff games. We all know curses aren't real, but....

The Lions were 3-12 in Dan Campbells first season and promptly went 1-6 to start his second season. Then Payton and Jeff did this... since then the Lions have gone 22-8 including 2 playoff wins, a division title, and NFCC appearance! They really did lift that curse!!!

Hearing “when the lions make a deep deep playoff run this place will go nuts.” In may of 2024 gave me chills

“Over a million people have claimed to have had a drink with Bobby Layne, and none of them are lying.”

[johnsattler]

The Lions should give Peyton and Jeff a ring if they ever win the Super Bowl for doing this

Thank you Jeff and Peyton!

If the Lions win the super bowl, Peyton should get a ring too.

I've been a Lion fan since 1970. While there are comedic moments here, this is seriously emotional stuff to the Die-Hard Lion fans. We've suffered with this team through all of life's trials and tribulations. And even after some of the most gut-crushing, embarrassing, unfair, inept, and unlucky moments/years any sports fan could never dream of happening, we continued to love this team. Now, thanks to Sheila Ford, Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell, Jeff Daniels, and Payton Manning, we have joy. We may still not ever win it all, but we have JOY. We have a TEAM, that is a mirror image, of US. LIONS

8:42 “Cleveland Browns coach sends guard Chuck Noll into the game.”

Yup, THAT Chuck Noll 😊.

I am still beside myself that Peyton Manning was able to break the curse of Bobby Lane with one comedic person that being Jeff Daniels need I say more

"I never lost a game, I just ran outta time"-Bobby Layne.

" If and when we go deep, , deep into the playoffs this place will go nuts..."
Yup.

Peyton's delivery and sense of comedic timing are better than the majority of professional comedians.

Yeah, this curse was WILD. Detroit is the example of some mad bad luck, and thats coming from a Bears fan. Honestly, I have mad respect for their fans, because anyone that can stick with them, regardless of that curse, thats a true fan. I can respect the hell out of that. At the heart of being a fan, riding those highs and lows together and just keeping hope, its everything. Also, love this style Peyton! "Belichecks dark magic was just too strong" 🤣

Dan Campbell broke the curse by being awesome. Brad Holmes too. We finally got a combo that were intelligent enough to win. Not least btw is Sheila. That girl picked Dan Campbell. She knew. Sheila broke the curse.

[RockHoward]

Full episode was awesome, we needed this done!

And after this aired, Dan Campbell’s team has been bitting knee caps all over the NFL

I absolutely love the fact that Tom Brady and the Patriots comes up in every segment. Usually brought up by Peyton himself. It's the highest compliment I can imagine and it's thoroughly appreciated. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are joined in American sports mythology forever!
