For this episode of Brewstilled, I’ll be telling the story of Bobby Layne, one of the NFL’s original great Quarterbacks. Layne was known for his football mind, elite play on the field and also for his tenure with the Detroit Lions. Yet, in 1958 the Lions traded him to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was then said that Bobby Layne cursed the Detroit Lions by saying they would never win for another 50 years. Does the ghost of Bobby Laynes curse haunt the Detroit Lions?

Invisible barriers was the theme for week 4 of the 2023 NFL season and for the House of Lombardi. We saw teams win key games while watching others lose games they needed to win. The Lions took command of the NFC North in their win against the Green Bay Packers, but can they hold the NFC North? For the Packers, how do they bounce back? The Jaguars got a key win in London, but this win doesn’t help Trevor Lawrences case to become this year NFL MVP. The Broncos got their first win, but their problems continue to linger. The Ravens continue to dominate the AFC North. Can the Ravens go as far as to dominate the AFC Conference? The Panthers remain winless. Will the Panthers go 0-17? The Raiders lost another close game. Just what is the exact cause for the Raiders losing close games? Is their head coach Josh McDaniel’s the main reason? The Cowboys dominated the New England Patriot’s. Yet, can the Cowboys win against the 49ners in their week 5 matchup? In a Sunday night game that was a classic, The New York Jets lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.

It’s a recap of week 2 for the 2023 NFL season here on Brewstilled for the House of Lombardi. The action we saw in week 2 showed the theme of setbacks. 2 of the teams for the House of Lombardi continue to remain winless in this year's NFL season. Will Sean Payton and Russell Wilson find a groove in Denver or is it meant to fail? When will the Panthers win their first game? The Baltimore Ravens continue to excel as they’re in command of the AFC North division. The question is, will the Baltimore Ravens win the AFC North division and maybe even more in this year’s NFL season? The Cowboys and the Jets faced off as the Jets now enter a post Aaron Rogers stage. Can the Jets win without Aaron Rogers? As for the Cowboys. Do they have the best defense in the league? The Lions lost to the Seahawks while the Packers lost to the Falcons. Both teams are now 1-1 and even in the NFC North standings, but are the Lions and the Packers destined to become a rivalry bigger than the Packers and the Bears? The Raiders lost to the Buffalo Bills in what should have been a win for the Raiders. The Raiders may be in trouble. If so, will their star wide receiver request a trade by the trade deadline to venture to a more competitive team? The Jaguars lost to the Chiefs. This game wasn’t good for the Jaguars and for their MVP caliber QB Trevor Lawrence. Did Trevor Lawrence damage his MVP chances?
