Cam Skattebo bizarrely did not move on failed Giants tush push that loomed large
During the Giants’ 24-21 defeat by Washington, running back Cam Skattebo appeared to remain still for nearly two seconds after the snap on a late third-and-1 quarterback sneak. His delayed push may have contributed to Jameis Winston being stopped short, a missed opportunity to keep possession and run down the clock while New York led.
The play came with less than four minutes left, at the Giants’ own 11-yard line. Former Eagles staffer Ryan Paganetti timed Skattebo’s delay at 1.8 seconds; officials initially awarded Winston the first down but overturned the ruling, and the Giants punted. New York later intercepted Jayden Daniels but went three-and-out, before Washington scored on the winning drive; coach John Harbaugh said he needed to review the footage.
In short
- Skattebo appeared to delay joining a crucial Giants quarterback sneak.
- Officials overturned Winston’s initial first-down ruling.
- Washington won 24-21 after a late scoring drive.
