A teary Josh McCown gave a great answer on how special it was to play in his first playoff game

“To go out there and play in a playoff game was special.”

Josh McCown is 40 years old, has played in the NFL for 17 seasons, and on Sunday he finally got to play in his first-ever playoff game.

The veteran was thrust into action for the Philadelphia Eagles after Carson Wentz was knocked out of the game thanks to what looked like a cheap shot by Jadaveon Clowney in the first quarter.

McCown gave it his all over the final three and a half quarters but he was unable to beat the Seahawks, as the Eagles’ season ended with a 17-9 loss to Seattle.

What a class act who has battled for so long in the league.

Bravo, Josh McCown.
