Cam Skattebo gave New York Giants fans an unexpected explanation for his mid-game sideline incident against the Washington Commanders. The running back revealed that a pretzel-wrapped hot dog was behind the stomach trouble that briefly interrupted his return to action on Thursday night. Didn’t sit right in the stomach,” Skattebo said to SNY TV when asked why he threw up on the sideline during the first half.
He added that he got rid of it and felt better afterward. The incident happened during the first half at MetLife Stadium. After coming off the field, Skattebo sat on the sideline and vomited near the bench.
Prime Video sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung informed the broadcast team that medical staff checked on him. She also noted that he was smiling and laughing soon afterward, before covering the mess with a towel. Skattebo did not stay out for long.
He returned to the field and found the end zone on a one-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter. He celebrated with his familiar backflip, giving the Giants a lift after the strange scene. The score put New York ahead 7-3 at the time.
Skattebo finished with 78 rushing yards on 18 carries and two touchdowns. He also caught three passes for 44 yards, giving him 122 yards from scrimmage. Despite his productive night, the Giants could not close out the game.
Washington scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter and escaped with a 24-21 win. The result left New York at 5-3-1, but Skattebo’s performance offered a positive sign after his absence.
