NFL AMERICAN FOOTBALL: PLAYOFFS

Sports Writing (USA), Jan 7 (EFE) .- The legendary quarterback Tom Brady commented this Thursday that he is ready to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their duel of the wild card game of the National Conference (NFC) that awaits them before the Washington team, in the nation’s capital.

Brady, who is playing his first season with the Buccaneers, said that he was not at all bothered by the comments made by young defender Chase Young of Washington, noting that he was ready to receive him and dedicate a special marking.

After Washington won the NFC East title on Sunday, Young was heard yelling, “Tom Brady, I’m coming. I want Tom! ”.

Brady had not commented on it until this Thursday he referred to what the defensive end of Washington said, and did not say at all to feel “annoyed” with the enthusiasm of the rookie who was one of the highlights in the victory against the Eagles of Philadelphia

The veteran quarterback spoke to reporters about Young ahead of a game against Washington, scheduled for Saturday, in the Tampa Bay franchise’s first playoff game since 2007.

“He’s obviously a great young player and we have to deal with a great (defensive) line,” Brady said, via NFL.com. “It was formed with Ohio State, so I think that reflects the rivalry that has always existed between Ohio State-Michigan, where I was formed.”

The enthusiastic rookie won his first division title Sunday in a 14-20 road win over the Eagles.

For his part, on Monday, Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians praised Young’s abilities, but warned him that “you better keep what you want and work hard on the field.”

Young spoke to reporters Wednesday and said he would not apologize for what he said, but attributed his enthusiasm to playing against a future Hall of Famer.

“I am excited for every game. Tom Brady? Do you think I will not be excited to play against GOAT? Sure you do, ”Young stated on NFL.com. “I’m not going to apologize for saying I love Tom.”

The Buccaneers are the favorites heading into Saturday’s showdown after Washington managed to win the division title with just seven wins thanks to a disastrous season for all the teams that make up the NFC East Division, none of which had a winning record. .
