The Philadelphia Eagles followed up a trip to the Super Bowl with a 10-1 start that had them in control of the NFC.
They ended their season Monday with a sixth loss in seven games in a 32-9 wild-card defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield led the rout with 337 passing yards and three touchdowns in a game the Bucs controlled from the opening kickoff.
The Eagles’ defense floundered in a sea of missed tackles, while their offense managed just 268 yards and went 0 for 11 on third and fourth down. Their season mercifully has come to an end.
Tampa Bay advances to the divisional round where it will take on the Detroit Lions.
