Social media is in chaos after fans began circulating a bizarre video that some claim shows a “voodoo ritual” performed against star quarterback Patrick Mahomes before the Super Bowl. The short clip — which has now gone viral — appears to show a woman twisting and tying a small red-and-white object resembling a doll, while whispering something under her breath during the game. Moments later, Mahomes missed a crucial play, and the internet exploded with wild theories.
The clip, first posted on TikTok, is captioned “She cursed him right before he lost.” Within hours, it racked up millions of views, with fans convinced that dark forces might have been at play during one of the most shocking moments in Super Bowl history.
One viewer wrote, “No way that was coincidence — she tied it, and seconds later Mahomes threw that interception!” Another joked, “Forget playbooks — someone needs an exorcist on the sidelines.”
While the claim of a supernatural curse might sound far-fetched, conspiracy theories have always surrounded big sporting events. From “The Curse of the Bambino” to “The Madden Cover Curse,” fans love to link mysterious coincidences with legendary athletes’ failures. But this one feels different — because it was caught on camera.
In the viral video, the woman can be seen holding what looks like a small handmade figure dressed in colors similar to the Kansas City Chiefs uniform. As the game progresses, she appears to twist and stab the figure with a pin while murmuring quietly. The timing is what shocked everyone — the footage aligns with the exact moment Mahomes’ performance started to falter.
Skeptics, of course, aren’t buying it. “It’s just a fan messing around with a napkin,” one commenter argued. “People are desperate to explain why their favorite team lost.”
Still, the speculation hasn’t stopped. Fans have analyzed the footage frame by frame, pointing out supposed patterns between the woman’s movements and Mahomes’ on-field mistakes. “Every time she did something to that doll, he got tackled or missed a throw,” said one TikTok user who created a detailed side-by-side breakdown.
Psychologists, meanwhile, say the theory reflects how fans process emotional loss. “When people invest so deeply in sports, they look for external explanations to make sense of defeat,” explained Dr. Emily Vargas. “Curses and conspiracies are a way of coping with disappointment.”
Despite the skepticism, the mystery has taken on a life of its own. Memes, reaction videos, and even fake “voodoo curse tutorials” are now flooding social platforms. Some Chiefs fans have even gone as far as organizing a “counter-blessing” event online, jokingly lighting candles and chanting “reverse the curse” during live streams.
Mahomes himself hasn’t commented on the viral theory, though insiders close to the team called it “pure nonsense.” Still, the video’s eerie timing has made it one of the most talked-about sports moments of the year.
Whether it was bad luck, bad plays, or black magic, one thing’s certain — fans will be debating this Super Bowl “curse” long after the confetti has been swept away.
