NFL players react to Vance McDonald's stiff-arm TD

Published: Sep 24, 2018 at 01:56 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald unleashed one of the most devastating stiff-arms ever seen during Monday night's 30-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After catching a pass from Ben Roethlisberger, McDonald delivered a two-tiered stiff-arm to smash Buccaneers safety Chris Conte to the turf and open up a clear path to the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown.

Players across the NFL were impressed by McDonald's incredible feat:

Bruh!! I just can’t get over how hard dude just got punched. It was so disrespectful. Man forget the flags on Clay Matthews. That should be a flag for bullying!
