Ryan Fitzpatrick rips shirt off, flexes, hugs Josh Allen with bare chest after Bills win
Ryan Fitzpatrick was back at Highmark Stadium. So was his bare chest.
Fitzpatrick ripped off his shirt to the delight of Bills Mafia after the Buffalo Bills held on for a 24-18 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
Fitzpatrick made good on his promise to go shirtless if Bills quarterback Josh Allen played fired up instead of keeping his emotions at a "low positive" level.
Bills fans gathered near the set and chanted "Take your shirt off" at Fitzpatrick during Amazon Prime's postgame show.
Fitzpatrick gave in, taking off his dress shirt and suit jacket and chest bumping mascot Billy the Buffalo. Fitzpatrick walked over to Allen, who was getting ready to join the set for an interview, for a gentle hug.
The crowd wasn't satisfied, urging Fitzpatrick to "Lose the blazer" during the on-set interview. Fitzpatrick complied, with a little help from Allen, who disrobed Fitzpatrick.
The former Bills quarterback and fan favorite flexed whilst shirtless as he celebrated a Bills playoff win over the New England Patriots in 2022. The game-time temperature of that game at Highmark Stadium was 6 degrees with a wind chill of minus-7 degrees.
