NFL fan catches fire tailgating with Bills Mafia before Chiefs playoff game /d
A tailgating tradition almost went wrong Sunday.
Ahead of the Buffalo Bills-Kansas City Chiefs AFC Divisional Playoff game, Bills Mafia was doing its thing tailgating before kickoff.
That included the odd-yet-exciting tradition of body-slamming and smashing a folding table.
On Sunday, it featured one fan tossing another wearing a Detroit Lions sweatshirt from the bed of a pickup truck onto the table with one twist: someone set the table on fire.
In fact, one person can be seen pouring lighter fluid onto the table to feed the flames mid-toss.

After crashing through the table, the person who was tossed got up, only to find out that the front of his back was on fire.
That led to a panicked stop, drop and roll as those watching helped extinguish the flames.

Not exactly the smartest way to stay warm with temperatures in the 20s.
The winner of Sunday’s game advances to the AFC Championship, which will be hosted by the Ravens on Sunday, Jan. 28.
Baltimore advanced Saturday by beating the Houston Texans, 34-10.
It will be the first time the Ravens host the AFC title game at M&T Bank Stadium.
