Cam Skattebo Stares Down Camera in Giants’ 24-21 Loss to Commanders
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo scored two touchdowns, threw up on the sideline and stared into the Prime Video cameras for at least 10 seconds in a 24-21 loss to the Washington Commanders on Thursday night.
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo stared into the Prime Video cameras for at least 10 seconds at the start of the fourth quarter of the Giants' 24-21 loss to the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. It was the latest odd moment in a night that also included a Jameis Winston sneak play and a sideline bout of vomiting.
Skattebo, in the words of the game report, is "never one for walking the beaten path." He gave no reason for the stare, which the report described as "known only to him."
Al Michaels, calling the game for Prime Video, laughed and said, "He knows where the camera is."
Skattebo still produced. He finished with 78 rushing yards, 44 receiving yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Pretzel dog and a stalled push
Earlier in the game, Skattebo broke into laughter after throwing up on the sideline. He explained afterward that he had eaten a pretzel-wrapped hot dog before kickoff and that it did not sit well.
On a key play, Skattebo stayed in his stance instead of pushing quarterback Jameis Winston from behind, according to the game coverage.
Winston had his own moment. He was heard singing "Who Let the Dogs Out" while trying to draw the Commanders offside.
Skattebo was a question mark going in. He tore a hamstring in Week 7 and missed the Giants' win over the Philadelphia Eagles last week.
In his first seven games of the season, the former fourth-round pick had 418 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns and 76 receiving yards. His two scores against Washington doubled that touchdown total.
