A man jumps from a high point. Onto a table. And does so near a fire.

Who could have possibly predicted that trouble would ensue?

Things did not go quite well enough for the Buffalo Bills in Sunday's AFC Divisional Round showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs, with a 27-24 loss sending Bills Mafia home unhappy again.

But before the game at Orchard Park? Bills Mafia engaged in its tailgate tradition ... in this case a fella wearing a Lions sweater leaping off a vehicle's hood and onto - and through - a table that somehow happened to be on fire.

And guess what happened? The guy caught fire as well.

Fortunately, this "Failed Human IQ Test'' occurred with snow and ice on the ground, allowing spectators to help douse the flame as it roared dangerously on the man's backside.

After the game, Chiefs star Travis Kelce praises Buffalo for its unique playoff atmosphere, and he did so even as some Bills fans - obviously frustrated with the loss - engaged in the unfortunate act of throwing snowballs at the visiting players.

It doesn't seem that anybody got hurt as a result of those actions. We're hoping anybody who caught himself on fire avoided serious injury as well.

The table-jumping thing? Go for it, we suppose. 

The igniting oneself on fire thing? Next season, let's avoid that, Bills Mafia, shall we?
