Giants’ Cam Skattebo fumes after being left bloodied by controversial facemask no-call

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo endured a painful moment during Sunday night's 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, ending up with blood visible around his mouth and nose following a facemask incident that officials failed to penalize. Despite his frustration over the missed ruling, the second-year rusher made a dramatic comeback in the contest after recovering from a severe compound fracture in his right ankle suffered during the previous season.

Skattebo punctuated New York's initial possession by plunging into the end zone on a three-yard carry for the squad's opening touchdown of the 2026 campaign. Disregarding his prior pledge to abandon the move, he promptly performed his trademark backflip celebration in the end zone, a high-risk display that sparked both excitement and anxiety among spectators concerned about further injury.
