An NFL fan ended up catching on fire at a tailgate party in New York on Sunday ahead of the showdown between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs AFC Divisional Playoff game.
In a wild video that surfaced on X, a group of Buffalo fans decided to take part in “the odd-yet-exciting tradition of body-slamming and smashing a folding table,” the New York Post reported.
Except this group of fans decided to make things a bit more exciting by setting one of the folding tables on fire and then throwing their pal, who was wearing a Detroit Lions sweatshirt, onto it.

However, before the fan landed, it appeared that someone added an extra dose of lighter fluid to the flames and when he hit the table, the seat of his pants caught fire.
At first, the fan seemed unfazed by being slammed onto the table and very unaware that he was on fire. However, once he stood up, he realized that there were flames coming from his rear end.
Initially, the fan flailed about trying to extinguish the flames, even crashing into the people standing around capturing video of the chaos. He then threw himself to the snow-covered ground and attempted to put out the flames without any success. Luckily though, one of his pals stepped in and helped eventually extinguish the fire.

It is unclear from the video if the fan was injured from the stunt or if he managed to escape unharmed.
Back inside Highmark Stadium, there was plenty of excitement as the Bills and Chiefs fans saw the lead in the game change five times in 60 minutes. As most people expected, it went down to the wire and final minute resulting in a Kansas City 27-24 win.
Kansas City now advances to the AFC Championship game on Sunday where they will be on the road against the Baltimore Ravens. The winner will move on to the Super Bowl.
