Monday was a difficult night for Chris Conte, Buccaneers.

The safety of Tampa Bay was ensured by Steelers Vance McDonald's wing, who armed the eight-year veteran at the border after catching a pass from Ben Roethlisberger. With Tale piled on the field after being scrapped, McDonald jumped on the sidelines for a 75-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter of Pittsburgh's week-long playoff with Tampa Bay.

Shortly after the sequence, Conte was ruled out with a knee injury.

The Steelers led 30-10 at halftime.
