NFL round-up: Wicklow's Dan Whelan and Packers exit as Washington end 19-year wait
The Philadelphia Eagles booked a home meeting with either the Los Angeles Rams or the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC divisional round with a 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers, with Wicklow's Dan Whelan coming out on the wrong side of the result.
Whelan punted twice for an average of 50 yards before his season came to an end.

His second touchdown pass from 24 yards, capped by Dallas Goedert fighting his way into the end zone, opened a 16-3 lead in the third quarter.

Jordan Love threw for 212 yards for the Packers but was intercepted three times, the final one from Quinyon Mitchell in the last two minutes sealing their fate.
The Eagles suffered an injury blow with linebacker Nakobe Dean on crutches after the match having limped off in with a knee injury in the second quarter.
A fourth quarter turnover and last-ditch field goal gave the Washington Commanders their first post-season win in 19 years as they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20.
