Be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it. That's exactly what Chase Young discovered on Saturday following his previous remarks regarding the Washington Football Team's Wild Card matchup against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaking to the media following the Buccaneers' 31-23 win, head coach Bruce Arians noted how the team took Young's challenge to heart and used it as motivation going into the game.
"Our guys took it to heart — they didn't scare us," Bruce Arians says of Chase Young's "I want Tom" comment and the attention on Washington defensive front.

Young made the aforementioned “I Want Tom” remark while celebrating Washington's win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, which sealed their division championship and playoff berth.

The Washington Football Team just squeaked into the playoff with a losing record of 7-9, and anyone hardly gave them a chance against the Brady-led Buccaneers.
The trash-talking by Chase Young did not help matters and only added fuel to an already hot fire under Brady and Tampa Bay. Tom is on a mission this season, looking to prove to the league that he is not losing a step. He is also raring to show that he can win without head coach Bill Belichick, whom he has been with during his time with the New England Patriots.
Brady has already proven that, perhaps, Belichick needed him more than he needed the coach, with the Patriots failing to make the playoffs this season. The Buccaneers star quarterback is also aiming to do something that only long-time rival Peyton Manning has done: win a Super Bowl with two different franchises. Manning accomplished the feat with the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos.
