The Packers' loss to the Lions on Sunday was the team’s third straight, and while Green Bay fans are trying to dissect what has caused the downturn in the season, supporters of the arch-rival Bears think they know the cause: a Mike Ditka curse.

The Packers loss to the Lions on Sunday was the team’s third straight and while Green Bay fans are trying to dissect what has caused the downturn in the season, supporters of the arch-rival Bears think they know the cause: a Mike Ditka curse.

The beloved Chicago coach appeared in a McDonald's commercial wearing the green and yellow of the Packers on the weekend Green Bay’s three-game skid began, and Chicagoans do not think it is a coincidence.

It should also be noted that the Cowboys have not won a game since Jerry Rice appeared in a Dallas jersey in the same commercial campaign, so perhaps there really is something to this curse.
