John Harbaugh: Cam Skattebo was not supposed to push on Jameis Winston sneak
NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Giants coach John Harbaugh defended running back Cam Skattebo for not pushing quarterback Jameis Winston during a critical QB sneak in their loss to the Commanders.
- Harbaugh clarified the play was a quarterback sneak but not a "tush push," and Skattebo was not supposed to push Winston as part of a specific check.
- The decision not to push on the sneak appeared unusual and came late in the fourth quarter when the Giants led 21-17.
- The Giants failed to convert the sneak, lost the lead, and ultimately lost the game 24-21.
- The rationale behind the Giants' choice to avoid the push in that moment remains unclear.
