Chris Conte

Chris Conte for that 75-yard touchdown in 2018.

The stiff arm heard round the football world.

The chalk lines, the chalk outlines of Conte's body still visible on the Raymond James field.

No, of course, that's not true.

But this is the challenge that should be put forth to Darnell Washington today.

It does help that the Buccaneers have been trash to start off the year, despite the fact of winning their last game.

But as we'll get into it a little bit more in the next episode, topic the Steelers have certainly had a ton of success when it comes to playing against the Buccaneers over the years and lastly let's get into it the last visit that they had Steelers down in Tampa and I'm sure you recall this game where it was a Monday night it was I believe late September and the Steelers visited down there Ben Roethlisberger still in his heyday coming off of the big year he had the year prior where they were 13 and 3 they lost to Jacksonville do I even need to bring that up Steeler fans but anyway it was a Monday night and the Steelers had a big lead before hanging on the wind and the biggest play in that game was a pass by Ben Roethlisberger to Vance McDonald remember him the old Niner and then he was a Steeler for a hot minute and then retired But he had that one play where he was wide open in the flat, and then he went up the sideline, I believe it was in the first quarter of the game, where he stiff-armed the safety, Chris Conte, and went all the way to the end zone.

It was viral at the time.

Certainly made all the highlight reels, etc.

Yeah, that one was e- that one was bad, but the...

Who was the bad w- Chris Conte.

Like, the, you know, when the Bears descend the house and-

Oh, yeah

Yeah, that was going to be actually the big point of what I was going to say, is that for the first time in a while, both of these teams are actually pretty good.

I feel like it's really been since, what... 2013, the year the infamous Chris Conte foul up on fourth and eight.

That's really the last time I feel like both of these teams have been good because pretty much since then until 2018, the Bears were bad and then the Packers were bad.

The year the Bears won the division and then the year they went to the wild card, they were mediocre and Aaron Rodgers threw all over them.

Now how he's playing, the number on that contract is not too bad.

Chicago is the most forgiving city in the world, unless you're Chris Conte.

[laughs] Like for the most part, Chicago will get over just about anything if you show that you have heart, and you show that you have, uh, as, as Hawk Harrelson used to say, TW, TW, the will to win.

Like we wanna root for P.

We need to contact the Buccaneers.

And we need Chris Conte, proof of life, as captain of the crew that day.

No, we don't.

No, we don't.

I'm talking about crying.

Yeah, I cried in 2013, fourth and eight, Chris Conte blown coverage.

I cried the 2010 NFC Championship game, and then-

Eddie, do you-

Almost destroyed my family, man.

Shout out to Chris Conte and them.

And then I started to think about the year after the Bears went to the Super Bowl, that champagne year where I think Brian Urlacher broke his wrist and he was out for the season and everything was

hustling.
