PHOTO: Vikings fans set Rodgers jersey on fire, fly it from drone
Some particularly rowdy tailgaters at TCF Bank Stadium tried a crazy stunt on Sunday. Before the team's Week 11 matchup with the Green Bay Packers, some Minnesota Vikings fans decided to set an Aaron Rodgers jersey ablaze and fly it over the parking lot with a drone.
Star-Tribune photojournalist Carlos Gonzalez spotted the flaming jersey and snapped a picture to share on his verified Twitter account.

The Vikings and Packers don't typically get along, but this rivalry has ramped up recently. With the NFC North up for grabs between these two teams, the first meeting of the season was more heated than usual.
Things could get even crazier -- both on the field and during the pre-game tailgate -- when the Vikings and Packers meet again for a rematch at Lambeau Field in the regular-season finale.
