The Titans Burst into Flames during Their Home Opener

While the Titans and Ravens deserve credit for leaving it all on the field Sunday in Nashville, the real MVP of the game didn't even play a single down.

Obviously, we're talking about the Nissan Stadium facilities team responsible for the pre-game pyrotechnics.

Fans were understandably fired up for the Titans' home opener, but these dudes decided to go full scorched earth.

Have a look, and don't get too close:

 

Holy flame-retardant uniform, that was definitely a fire.

 

We've confirmed that this wasn't a deliberate fart-lighting scenario, but merely an accident.

The horrified crew extinguished the fire almost immediately while an equally horrified stadium full of fans looked on.

Perhaps next time the Titans organization will outsource the pyrotechnics work.

 

We hear Danny McBride is available.

Meanwhile, the action on the field was almost anti-climactic after the fire.

 

If only that dude had suited up.

Of course, if this had been in Miami, they would've rolled out a dumpster.
