The Washington Football Team — despite starting the season at 2-7 — locked up the NFC East title on Sunday night with their 20-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, and rookie defensive standout Chase Young immediately had his sights set on the first playoff game of his young career.
He wanted Tom Brady.
In the moments following the win, cameras captured Young celebrating the division title by saying he was ready to take on the future Hall of Fame quarterback in Saturday’s Wild Card matchup with the Buccaneers.
Young said as he left the field for the tunnel, “Tom Brady! Tom Brady, I’m coming. I want Tom. I want Tom!”

Young, who has racked up 7.5 sacks in his rookie season, will face Brady for the first time.
And for Young’s sake, he’ll need to have a good showing on Saturday or that video will almost certainly make another appearance on Twitter.
