NFL Sideline Reporter Jane Slater’s Scary At Home Grilling Accident Caught On Camera [VIDEO]

NFL sideline reporter Jane Slater scared fans this week after a grilling accident at home. She shared a video showing flames shooting up from her grill, and it quickly spread on social media.

Slater, known for her NFL and Cowboys coverage, wasn’t talking football this time. She was just trying to grill when things went wrong. As she opened the grill, a burst of fire shot up toward her face. She later joked that she almost burned her face off.

The scene looked scary, but Slater was not hurt. She admitted it shook her up and said she felt lucky it wasn’t worse.

The NFL Network also shared the video, and fans reacted immediately. Many thanked her for being honest. Others gave grilling tips and safety advice. Slater used the moment to warn people to be cautious and avoid making the same mistake. Moreover, recently, a false rumor also spread online claiming Slater had died. That rumor went viral during Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season.

“Hey gang. Important PSA. Don’t do this at home,” Slater wrote on X. “For more tips on how to NOT adult, like/follow/subscribe. Almost melted my face off tonight.”
