Super Bowl curse
The Super Bowl curse is a phrase referring to one of three things: Super Bowl participants that follow up with lower-than-expected performance the following year; teams that do not repeat as Super Bowl champions; and host teams of the Super Bowl that do not play the game on their own home turf.
Also called a Super Bowl hangover, it has been used, for example, to explain both why losing teams may post below-average winning percentages in the following year and why Super Bowl champions seldom return to the title game the following year. The term has been used since at least 1992, when ''The Washington Post'' commented that "the Super Bowl Curse has thrown everything it's got at the Washington Redskins. The Jinx that has bedeviled defending champs for 15 years has never been in better form".〔Boswell, Thomas. (September 21, 1992) "A Curse but not yet a sin" (article sample at (highbeam.com )). ''The Washington Post''.〕 The phenomenon is attributed by football commentator and former NFL manager Charley Casserly to such elements as "a shorter offseason, contract issues, () more demand for your players' time".〔Gruber, Jack. (February 6, 2007). (Champions, for now — Super Bowl curse could vex Colts, Bears ). ''USA Today''. Retrieved 19/04/08.〕 Casserly also notes that "once the season starts, you become the biggest game on everybody's schedule."〔
==The Losers' Curse==
While the first five Super Bowl winners of the 2000s posted above average winning percentages the year following their Super Bowl appearance, the losers of the same games posted below average winning percentages in the follow-up year.〔Simpson, Matt. (September 17, 2006) (Seattle out to break Super Bowl curse ). "Tribune". Retrieved 19/04/08.〕 The Super Bowl curse is also said to apply to winners of the game, as since 1993 few winning teams have followed up their Super Bowl successes with a second Super Bowl appearance (Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots won; Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks lost; or even advanced to a conference title game in the subsequent season (Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks). In the Super Bowl era two teams have lost the Super Bowl, then won it the following season. The first was the Dallas Cowboys, who lost Super Bowl V to the Baltimore Colts, but came back in 1971 and defeated the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VI. The Dolphins repeated the feat in 1972 when they rallied to go a perfect 17-0, capping the season with a win over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII.
