Tampa Bay Bucs’ safety Chris Conte had a rough night Monday after an epic stiff arm from Vance McDonald. NFL fans vented their frustrations on Twitter, but they tweeted the wrong Chris Conte – again.
Against the Steelers, Conte got stiff-armed, as CBS Sports put it, "into an entirely different dimension." The play went viral almost immediately, getting the attention of NewsChannel 5 reporter Chris Conte.
