Vance McDonald had one goal with his vicious stiff arm.

"Just punish him. Inflict as much force on him as possible. That's the first thing I think of," the Pittsburgh Steelers tight end told reporters, per NFL Total Access, about the now-viral play.

McDonald imposed his will on Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Chris Conte with a devastating stiff arm on a 75-yard catch-and-run touchdown on Monday Night Football.

McDonald actually targeted a specific area when he took down Conte.

"His temple. To just crush him. Yeah, that's what I was aiming for," McDonald said.
