Quarterbacks spent basically the entirety of 2026’s regular season wisely avoiding Quinyon Mitchell, and in great irony, the Eagles’ All-Pro cornerback used Wild Card Weekend to illustrate exactly why. As targets finally funneled his way, Mitchell made the most of his rare opportunity by plucking two interceptions, undercutting a pair of routes to bring the Philadelphia faithful to its collective feet. Miraculously, all four of Mitchell’s career interceptions have arrived during playoff time, further cementing his status as a postseason performer. Although the San Francisco 49ers would have the last laugh in a 23-19 result, Jan. 11, 2026 remained incredible for the do-it-all Mitchell, who paired his two picks with a forced fumble, three passes defended, and three tackles.
