Josh McCown is the 1st player in NFL history to make his postseason debut at 40 years old.
Prior to today the oldest player in their postseason debut was Ben Agajanian for the 1956 Giants. He was 37 years, 124 days old.(McCown is 40-185).

Despite giving it his all McCown was unable to lead the Eagles past the Seahawks and was extremely emotional after the game.

Really emotional scene outside Eagles locker room. Josh McCown, walking alone, stops on way in, squats and begins to cry. Zach Ertz and another teammate console him. He gave all he had.
