Ryan Fitzpatrick brought a little Fitzmagic to Buffalo.

Fitzpatrick wore a blue No. 14 Bills jersey with his name on the back.

He took off his jersey and the black jacket he was wearing underneath, revealing his bare chest to the delight of the home crowd. The crowd watched the Bills win 27-25 and earn a spot in the AFC Championship.

Fitzpatrick raised his arm to rouse the crowd, then shouted into the microphone he was holding.

“Where else would you want to be right now!” Fitzpatrick exclaimed, echoing the immortal words of legendary Bills head coach Marv Levy, which has become a creed for Bills fans.

Fitzpatrick continued to encourage the audience to speak up before the clip ended.

Another post from the Bills recorded Fitzpatrick on the field before the game praising Orchard Park's soccer environment.

The National Weather Service suggested the temperature at kickoff would be 18 degrees, with wind chills likely to make it feel like 11 degrees.

“It’s cold,” Fitzpatrick exclaimed. “Buffalo weather. Let's go.”

The former NFL journeyman played four seasons with the Bills and started 53 games with Buffalo during his tenure, catching 1,041 passes for 11,654 yards and 80 touchdowns.

Fitzpatrick spent 17 years in the NFL, spending time with nine different clubs, including the Bills.
