Larry Fitzgerald will push you down the field with a stiff arm
Larry Fitzgerald has been one of the best stories in the NFL this season as the Arizona Cardinals veteran wide receiver has been rejuvenated after severely falling in recent years. If you don’t think Fitzgerald is in the zone and back to his old ways of dominating, just ask Cleveland Browns defensive back Pierre Desir what he thinks about the Arizona receiver.
After the Cardinals had climbed back from a 13-point deficit, they were trying to put away the Browns with another offensive drive. On a short pass to Fitzgerald to get the first down and try to keep the drive alive, Desir came up to try and make the tackle. That’s when Fitzgerald did this to him:

That’s not just your everyday stiff-arm; that’s one man (Fitzgerald) straight-up pushing another man (Desir) backwards with one arm to try and get extra yardage. That’s just mean for Fitzgerald to treat a defender like that.
Fitzgerald’s catch and stiff-arm aided run after kept the drive alive for the Cardinals. Arizona kept moving and Fitzgerald once again came into the fold as he capped the drive with a six-yard touchdown catch. Even six points isn’t as impressive as that stiff arm, though.
