The NFL journeyman might not have done enough to get the job done, but he did look good against Seattle’s defense.
Despite not winning, McCown was happy to finally get on the field in the postseason. He had to fight back tears when talking about the experience.
Watch his emotional comments below.

This video right here is why we love sports so much. McCown has been in the NFL for more than a decade and a half and never took a postseason snap.
When his number was called Sunday, he was ready to roll. He finally got to play in the playoffs, and he didn’t disappoint.

Now, it’s probably time for McCown to return to television. He had a hell of an NFL career, he finally got to play in the postseason and he really can’t ask for much more.
