Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been no stranger to funny antics over the years. Whether it’s jumping in an ice bath in sub-zero temperatures or doing a number of other things, Fitzmagic has endeared himself to his fans in simply not caring at all. On Sunday night ahead of the Bills-Ravens matchup, Fitzpatrick took his shirt off to fire up the Buffalo home crowd and it did the trick.

Fitzpatrick continues to entertain fans in some of the funniest ways. He’s different, but in a good way. The man literally does not fear cold weather. One bit. The ice bath he took a couple months ago was brutal. And Fitzpatrick did not bat an eyelash.

The Bills controlled the first half on Sunday, leading the Ravens 21-10. Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson had two costly turnovers, including a fumble that Von Miller returned 39-yards to the opposing 24-yard line.

Ravens receiver Rashod Bateman starting the scoring off, after he hauled in a 16-yard touchdown catch from Jackson with 10:40 left in the first quarter. Bills running back Ray Davis countered with a one-yard touchdown run to tie it up at 7-7. Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker drilled a field goal. And Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen tacked on two rushing touchdowns in the second quarter.

With 9:47 left in the third quarter, Tucker drilled another field goal to cut the Bills lead to 21-13. Baltimore fed the Bills a steady diet of their running backs late in the third quarter. And Derrick Henry plunged into the end zone from five yards out to make it 21-19. The Ravens had the two-point conversion attempt batted down, and it was 21-19 with 1:37 left in the third quarter.

The winner of Sunday’s game will face off against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. The Chiefs are the top-seed remaining in the 2025 NFL Playoffs and they’ve won the last two Super Bowls. We’ll see if anyone can dethrone Mahomes, Kelce, and the Chiefs dynasty.
