The Tampa Bay Buccaneers earned a hard-fought 31-23 victory over the Washington Football Team on Saturday night.
Heading into the outing, Washington Football Team defensive end Chase Young had some choice words for Brady. Young said on a Zoom session with the media last Wednesday:
“I play ball. I’m excited to go against the best. The media, their job is to stir it up. If you know me, I’m excited for every game. Tom Brady, you think I’m not excited to play against the GOAT? You trippin’. I’m not going to apologize for saying I want Tom. No, I want every quarterback I play against.”
So how did all that ultimately work out for Young? Not especially well. Brady finished Saturday night with 381 yards and two touchdowns, while Young recorded a mere three tackles, none for a loss, with no sacks and zero quarterback hits — despite playing in 63 of Washington’s 72 defensive snaps.
After the game, Brady finally acknowledged that he had heard Young’s initial comments and offered up a two-word message for the Washington Football Team defensive end.
“Bright future,” he said.
