Fitz & Whit | Ryan Fitzpatrick & Andrew Whitworth

We’ve hit the halfway mark of the regular season, and there’s plenty to get into! Fitz is feeling good about the Buffalo Bills’ defense coming out of the bye week, but Whit has a reality check! The real test comes Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings. With trade deadlines approaching, the guys share their trade wish lists before breaking down the Jeffery Simmons effect and the immediate impact he’s already making in Chicago following the Bears’ victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

Plus, why is nobody talking about the Jacksonville Jaguars? Fitz & Whit preview TNF’s Jaguars-Ravens showdown and make the case for why it’s time to start giving Jacksonville some more attention. The guys also show some love to Jack Campbell, and give Dan Campbell and Kevin O’Connell their flowers for reminding everyone the strength of the brotherhood of the NFL.

And to close it out, a little Green Bay and Halloweekend recap! Halfway point, Beardos. Let’s go!
