Any member of the Pittsburgh Steelers who were hoping to get a full night of sleep ahead of today’s AFC Championship Game in Foxborough were out of luck.
At approximately 3 a.m. ET, the team hotel was disrupted when a man falsely pulled the fire alarm.
The entire hotel had to be evacuated as the fire department came to the scene.

According to CBS Boston, 5-year-old Dennis Harrison of East Boston was arrested for pulling the fire alarm. Harrison was charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and setting off a false fire alarm.
The media had their own alarm incident Sunday morning as well.
While everyone was preparing for the game, alarms at Gillette Stadium began to ring out.
