The penalty came in the first quarter when Skattebo lowered his helmet while running through safety M.J. Stewart, a 15-yard personal foul that erased a seven-yard gain. The Giants led 7-3 at the time and went on to win 27-21.\n\nIt is the second time this season the league has disciplined Skattebo for the same type of contact. He drew an identical $7,073 fine in Week 3 for illegal helmet use on a run against the Titans.\n\nSkattebo did not hide his frustration with the call when he spoke to reporters after the Texans game. League data shows eight separate use-of-helmet infractions occurred around the league in Week 7, but Skattebo was the only player flagged for one.","published_at":"2026-10-31T23:32:43.524010+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Giants’ Cam Skattebo gets hit with $7,073 fine for controversial use-of-helmet flag","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/31/sports/giants-cam-skattebo-receives-7073-fine-for-controversial-flag/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL fines Giants' Cam Skattebo for penalty they promoted on social media","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-fines-giants-cam-skattebo-215557104.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Of eight use of helmet infractions in Week 7, only Cam Skattebo was flagged","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/of-eight-use-of-helmet-infractions-in-week-7-only-cam-skattebo-was-flagged"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Of eight use of helmet infractions in Week 7, only Cam Skattebo was flagged","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eight-helmet-infractions-week-7-210901892.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nypost.com/wp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F10%2Fcam-skattebo-44-new-york-146474341.jpg?w%3D1024","credit":"New York Post","width":5734},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
