The NFL season kicks off with bang!  The Superbowl Champs, Pittsburgh Steelers have begun their season with a win over the Tennessee Titans but at a cost.  The legendary Madden Curse strikes again. And this time it’s Troy Polamalu who suffered a knee injury which kept him out for the remainder of the season opener. Oh Oh…

Polamalu was trying to recover a blocked field goal in the first half when Titans tight end Alge Crumpler fell awkwardly on Polamalu’s left knee. We will try to get an update on Polamalu’s status after the game.

Larry Fitzgerald is the other athlete on the Madden 10 cover, so as of now it’s only half a curse. Not sure if that means Fitzgerald’s fate is already written.
