Orchard Park, N.Y.'s below-freezing temperatures ahead of the Buffalo Bills-Baltimore Ravens divisional round matchup barely frightened anyone.

Mack Hollins showed up dressed for the beach, Lamar Jackson didn't wear sleeves—and former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick put together an unbelievable—shirtless—pre-game pump-up speech:

"Where else would you rather be, than right here, right now?" the 42-year-old yelled with a fired-up crowd.

Fitzmagic knows no bounds.

Well known for his 16-year, journeyman NFL career—Fitzpatrick's longest stint was actually with Buffalo from 2009 to '12. Over 53 starts in blue and red, he tallied a 20-33 record while throwing for 11,654 yards, 80 touchdowns, and 64 interceptions.

Now retired and a part of Amazon Prime Video's NFL broadcast crew, Fitzpatrick remains an integral part of Bills Mafia.
