Washington Football Team vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Storylines

This is the first time in Tom Brady's career that he makes the playoffs as a Wild Card team. Notably, this is also the first time that he had to play on a tough division with another candidate like the New Orleans Saints.

Brady has been quite good at home but subpar on the road. Thus far, he's thrown more interceptions (10) than touchdown passes outside of Raymond James Stadium, which is a huge concern for Bruce Arians.

 

Arians also knows that the Washington Football Team will be better than an average 7-9 squad, as they have a winning record with Alex Smith under center and one of the best defenses in the league.

Standout rookie Chase Young has been a beast from day one and he's craving the chance to match up vs. Tom Brady in the postseason, reigniting the lifelong rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan.
