New England fans are feeling good about their team's chances against the Steelers in the AFC Championship, but they're playing with fire by disrespecting Pittsburgh's beloved Terrible Towel.

WATCH: Patriots fans stomp on Terrible Towel, risking the wrath of the curse

New England fans are feeling pretty good about their team's chances against Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game, but they're playing with fire by disrespecting the Terrible Towel. The Twitter video below, which was posted Wednesday, shows a group of Patriots fans stomping on one of the yellow towels beloved by Steelers fans worldwide. They're just fans, not Patriots players, so who knows if the Terrible Towel curse will be invoked in this case. Regardless, it's not a wise move to even go there. (Warning: Video includes some profanity. Tap here to watch if video does not display below.) In a December game, Cincinnati running back Jeremy Hill was seen pretending to rip apart a towel on the Bengals' sideline. The Steelers rallied from a 14-point deficit to win. Videos of Miami and Kansas City fans stomping on the towel were seen on social media before the Steelers played -- and defeated -- both of those teams in the AFC playoffs.
