Fitz & Whit | Ryan Fitzpatrick & Andrew Whitworth

We’ve officially reached the quarter mark of the NFL season, so Fitz and Whit take a look at what they’ve learned, what’s surprised them, and what they still can’t figure out. The guys reveal some of their favorite position groups before trying to make sense of the surprising NFC East, where the Giants are 3-1 and somehow sitting on top, the Eagles are trying to find their footing, Washington is searching for answers, and the Cowboys still look like the team to beat. 

Plus, Fitz takes a deep dive into Josh Allen and Joe Brady’s two-point conversion struggles, and then the guys look ahead to Monday Night Football and preview the Bills’ matchup with the Rams. Four weeks down and we’re just getting started!

Three weeks into the NFL season and somehow we’re more confused than ever. Fitz & Whit try to make sense of the bizarre start to the season, but remember, September is just the trailer. We’re going to find out a lot more about these teams when the real story starts to unfold. 

Then, the guys address the question nobody wants to ask…Is Drake Maye the problem? He just might be. They break down what’s gone wrong before getting into one of the biggest themes of the season: EVERYONE IS LYING. Defenses are disguising, offenses are scheming, and nothing is what it seems. 

Plus, Hall of Famer Joe Thomas joins Fitz & Whit to preview Steelers-Browns on Thursday Night Football and talk about what’s really going on with his former team. And don’t forget to check out his very own Hall of Fame Farms at https://www.halloffamefarms.com/

Fitz and Whit are back from an unforgettable trip to Buffalo, sharing their favorite stories from the road before asking the big question in Atlanta…can Michael Penix Jr. be the answer for the Falcons?

Football is finally back! Fitz & Whit kick off Week 1 with their good friend Ted Karras, who shares an inside look at Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ renewed sense of urgency. Plus, Ted tells the story of his unforgettable first workout with Bill Belicheck, getting the “baby powder treatment” from Tom Brady, and even how he saved his teammate’s life. 

Then the guys make some bold predictions. Fitz makes his case for how the Dolphins could go 0-17. Whit shares his belief in Cincinnati making the AFC Championship. But ultimately it comes down to which teams they need to “test drive” in Week 1 before taking them off the lot.  

They recap their quick trip to Buffalo and look ahead to the (likely shirtless) adventures that are to come as they kick off Thursday Night Football next week.

The final week without football is here, and Fitz & Whit are ready to get the season started! 

Aaron Donald is back! Fitz has a LOT to say about his new man crush Fernando Mendoza. And the guys dive into some of the NFL’s most interesting QB situations heading into Week 1. Plus, Fitz shares a little about what this week was like back when he was playing…pro tip, don’t call your wife to tell her you got traded without telling her which team you’re going to. And finally they put last year’s last-place teams through a game of Keep or Toss. 

One more week of waiting before the scoreboards & sidelines start to reveal some truths.

The boys are BACK. Season 3 of Fitz and Whit kicks off with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth catching up on a summer that was anything but quiet. From traveling through France to attending a royal wedding, welcoming a new puppy and filming Men v. Food, the guys have plenty of stories– and plenty of questionable decisions–to unpack. 

And of course, it’s time to get back to football. Fitz and Whit look ahead to the 2026 NFL season, debate what’s next for Aaron Donald, break down some of the biggest quarterback situations around the league, and test each other with a game about the NFL’s rookie head coaches. 

The offseason is over. The boys are back. The stories are crazier, the football is back, and somehow, the beards are better than ever. Welcome to Season 3.
