Lions linebacker Jahlani Tavai played with fire, or rather fireworks, and it nearly cost him dearly.
Tavai was celebrating the Fourth of July in a private setting and decided to launch some backyard fireworks. One of the ordinances flew directly into Tavai’s face as he backed away from the launching area.
He got lucky and escaped injury. Tavai quickly admonished everyone to “not try this at home.”
Tavai posted the video of the fireworks mishap on his Instagram live feed. Because those disappear, here are a couple of screenshots of the incident, taken from Reddit.
