Lincoln Riley, Gerald McCoy attend Eagles-Buccaneers game with Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield

Former OU football coach Lincoln Riley made a sideline appearance during Monday's NFC Wild Card matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Riley, who left OU after five seasons (2017-21) to become USC's head coach in November 2021, showed up in support of the game's two starting quarterbacks. Both Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts and Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield played under Riley at OU.

Riley was also seen interacting with former OU defensive tackle Gerald McCoy on Tampa Bay's sideline.

McCoy played for OU from 2007-09 before Tampa Bay selected him with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He spent 11 seasons in the league, including nine with the Buccaneers, before he retired in April.

The winner of the Tampa Bay-Philadelphia game will travel to face the Detroit Lions in the divisional round at 2 p.m. Sunday.
