Dean, a starting linebacker, went down late in the second quarter and is out for the rest of the playoffs after a fine season for the Eagles.

During the early window of Sunday's wild-card action, the Buffalo Bills defended their home turf at Highmark Stadium and sent the Denver Broncos packing with a 31–7 victory. Bo Nix and the Broncos got on the board early, taking a 7–0 lead before surrendering 31 straight points to the Josh Allen-led Bills offense.
