Ryan Fitzpatrick said his public dispute with former Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib has ended, posting a joint video on X on Sunday morning, according to the New York Post.

What happened

The feud began after Fitzpatrick, hosting Thursday Night Football, called Broncos quarterback Bo Nix’s play "disrespectful" to the quarterback position. Nix led the Broncos to a 17‑14 overtime win over the Seahawks, completing 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards. Talib responded on the show "Gridiron," accusing Fitzpatrick of disrespect and mocking his career.

What the report adds

The Post details the video: Fitzpatrick greets Talib with "Hey Aqib, what’s going on dude? Long time no talk," then shows Talib’s earlier clip where he called Fitzpatrick "disrespectful" and "sucks." Fitzpatrick replies with surprise, "Me?" and references his 17‑year, nine‑team career and a 2015 Jets season that reached the playoffs. Talib counters by noting Fitzpatrick never played in a playoff game, prompting Fitzpatrick to claim a 2015 Jets run qualified as a "sniff." The exchange ends with both joking.

What was said

Fitzpatrick wrote on X, "Just got off the phone with Aqib Talib…happy we were able to work thru our differences." Talib’s earlier remarks, as quoted by the Post, included, "You are disrespectful to the quarterback position because you suck. Period."

How it came about

The disagreement stemmed from Fitzpatrick’s criticism of Nix’s performance, which had drawn scrutiny over the past four days. Talib’s on‑air challenge prompted Fitzpatrick to respond publicly, leading to the eventual video reconciliation.
