"Way to" is used to honestly compliment or praise someone who did a nice job. In this case it's saying "It was great how you took one for the team."
However, it's commonly used sarcastically too. The most common use of "way to" is in "way to go" (in an annoyed voice). "Way to" could be mean or nice, depending on the context.
