I know but talking about remembering a while back going into a playoff game, a team had to go get a qb off the street to play in a playoff game.
i thought it was the eagles, but can't remember.
found it, crazy right!!
In August 2019, the Philadelphia Eagles lured the 40-year-old journeyman quarterback out of retirement (where he had already accepted a media job with ESPN) to serve as a veteran backup.
During the NFC Wild Card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks in January 2020, starter Carson Wentz suffered a concussion early in the first quarter. McCown was thrust into action to make his first career postseason appearance in his 18-year NFL career. To make the performance even more legendary, McCown tore his hamstring completely off the bone during the second quarter but braved through the pain to play the entire second half because the Eagles had no other active quarterbacks. Though the Eagles ultimately lost 17-9, his gritty performance earned immense respect across the league.
Would you like to revisit any other details or stats from that specific Eagles playoff run, or look into where Josh McCown's coaching career has taken him since?
