Ryan Fitzpatrick was shirtless at Bills’ wild-card game as a fan

Ryan Fitzpatrick was in attendance for the Bills’ blowout wild-card win over the Patriots Saturday — as a shirtless fan.

Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 2021 season didn’t go as planned for him or the Washington Football Team. Fitzpatrick’s season ended in the second quarter of Week 1 after just six passing attempts for 13 yards.

A hip injury landed Fitzpatrick on injured reserve, but there was hope he’d return for the second half of the season. The injury didn’t heal as quickly as hoped, and Washington sidelined the 39-year-old quarterback for the season.

Fitzpatrick wasn’t in Ashburn for last week’s locker clean-out day, or, at least, he wasn’t available to the media.

But, five days later, we finally have a Fitzpatrick sighting: In Buffalo, for the Bills’ home wild-card game against the Patriots sitting amongst the crowd, as a fan — shirtless.

Check it out.

Fitzpatrick, who has played for nine teams, spent four seasons in Buffalo — the most time he has spent with any team. Even though Buffalo released Fitzpatrick in 2013, he remains beloved in Buffalo.

Fitzpatrick has made it no secret he, too, loves Buffalo.

It’s unfortunate Washington fans didn’t get the full Fitzpatrick experience in 2021 for various reasons. He would’ve given Washington’s passing offense more life, the media more soundbites and the fans more reasons to love him.

Here are more pictures from Fitzpatrick’s Saturday night in Buffalo.

It was nice to see a happy and healthy Fitzpatrick after a difficult 2021 season.
