WATCH: Food at Ford Field catches fires following Lions' heartbreaking loss
The Lions' hope for a win wasn't the only thing that went up in flames Sunday at Ford Field
If you thought things couldn't get worse for the Lions following their stomach-churning loss in Detroit on Sunday, well, you obviously didn't catch a glimpse of the food near the locker rooms at Ford Field after the final whistle.
As players headed back to their locker rooms, the smell of something burning caught the attention of a security guard in the tunnel, who alerted a worker. That worker opened up the door to the food container and....surprise! It might as well have been an incinerator.
To make matters worse for the #lions. The food is on fire at Ford Field by the locker room. pic.twitter.com/aLFNDj4kc3

It's worth pointing out that the woman didn't seem overly concerned about the state of the food. Call it composure, call it indifference, but if she broke a sweat it was only because of the raging flames. At one point, she tried to blow on it like it was a dusty N64 cartridge and not a full-fledged fire. Shockingly, it did not work.
Needless to say, not a great day at Ford Field for the Lions.
There apparently was a fire in the basement of Ford Field.

Yeah, we're pretty heated about how this one ended 😤🔥 https://t.co/HO2DKMioSh

We can probably assume this issue was dealt with and burning snacks were eventually extinguished, and we can probably also assume that Lions players were forced to go home both sad AND hungry.
