Six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady's postseason begins on Saturday, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback makes his bid for a seventh ring far from the chilly embrace of his former team, the New England Patriots.

After throwing 40 touchdown passes — his most since 2007 — in a productive season, Brady and the Bucs will began what they hope is a long playoff run on Saturday, when they visit the Washington Football Team in the wild card round. Brady, 43, will use that as a starting point as he tries to prove that he's still a threat in the postseason.

"It all comes down to one game," Brady told reporters after the Bucs' 44-27 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. "It's one football game, who plays well, who executes when the pressure is on."
