Eagles quarterback Josh McCown really gave it his all in his first career playoff game.
The 40-year-old journeyman was pressed into action when starter Carson Wentz went down with a concussion. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 174 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions, as Philadelphia lost 17–9.
The game was an emotional one for McCown, who has compiled a 23–53 record as a starter with eight teams over 15 seasons but had never before played in the postseason. Only once before (in 2008, when he backed up Jake Delhomme for the Panthers) did one of McCown’s teams even qualify for the playoffs.
