Cam Skattebo takes aim at NFL after controversial call in Giants win: 'Guess I’m going to play for free'
Key Points:
- Cam Skattebo was flagged for unnecessary roughness during the New York Giants' win over the Houston Texans after a hit on safety M.J. Stewart, a call that sparked controversy among fans and officials.
- Skattebo expressed frustration with the NFL for penalizing his aggressive running style, stating he will continue to play hard despite potential fines or flags.
- The NFL has historically praised Skattebo's physical running but is simultaneously enforcing rules against helmet-to-helmet contact, leading to conflicting interpretations of his play.
- Skattebo rebounded from a previous game where he had no carries following a costly fumble, rushing for 124 yards and a touchdown in Week 7, potentially solidifying his role as the Giants' lead back.
- With the Giants entering a bye week, Skattebo is expected to maintain his aggressive running approach when the team returns to face the Philadelphia Eagles.
