Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram was pretty diplomatic when reporters asked him Monday about his massive stiff-arm against Indianapolis Colts cornerback Stephon Gilmore, telling them that it was “a cool moment” that lifted the team.
But in a mic’d-up video posted by the Jaguars, Engram had a more colorful way of describing the play.
“Did it look as cool as it felt?” Engram could be seen asking teammate Dan Arnold. “It felt [expletive] awesome.”
Engram’s stiff-arm of Gilmore earned him just enough yardage to convert a third down late in the first half Sunday. It set up a 52-yard field goal for kicker Riley Patterson a few plays later that gave the Jaguars a 17-0 lead.

Other highlights from Engram’s mic’d-up video include him telling his teammates on the sideline, “This [expletive] is fun!”
Through two games with the Jaguars, Engram has 11 receptions on 12 targets for 74 yards.
