The Pittsburgh Steelers entered Monday nightโs game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in desperate need of their first win of the season and they werenโt going to let anyone on the Bucs stand in their way. Literally.
Trailing 7-0 in the opening quarter, the Steelers responded in a very big way courtesy of a 75-yard touchdown from tight end Vance McDonald. However, it wasnโt the touchdown that got his teammates fired up, it was the move he made in order to get to the end zone.
Safety Chris Conte was the only person standing in between McDonald and the end zone and he probably wishes he wasnโt the last man back on that play as he was thrown to the ground by the Steelersโ tight end. The reactions to the big stiff arm were pretty great, but the best one came from Cam Heyward, who had his reaction caught on camera.
With it being the only game on the schedule, other players around the league took note of McDonaldโs stiff arm, especially since Conte was ruled out of the game after that.
You can bet weโre going to see that play over and over again all season long.
