Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady leads team to first playoff win since 2002

Washington Football Team rookie defensive end Chase Young said all week, "Tom Brady, I'm coming!" and "I want Tom!" But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, playing in his 42nd postseason game and first with the Bucs at age 43, didn't take the bait from last year's No. 2 overall draft pick, offering only the slightest hint of a smirk.

But instead of taking down the six-time Super Bowl winner, Young finished Saturday night's NFC wild-card game with no sacks and was congratulating Brady after the Bucs' 31-23 win.

Brady led the Bucs to their first playoff appearance since 2007 and first playoff win since they won Super Bowl XXXVII after the 2002 season.
