Mailata's Eagles dream ends as Bills, Patriots advance

Australian star Jordan Mailata's Philadelphia have crashed out at the first NFL playoffs hurdle, edged 23-19 by San Francisco in the wildcard round. 

Giant offensive tackle Mailata became the first Australian to play in a Super Bowl victory last year when the Eagles thumped Kansas City 40-22, but the 28-year-old won't be able to recreate those heroics after his side's exit on Monday (AEDT).
