Giants' Cam Skattebo hit with surprising fine for hard-nosed play

The official reasoning from the NFL is "illegal helmet contact on a running play." That left fans searching for this finable offense, with the understanding Skattebo runs hard on every play.

One video appears to show him lowering his helmet into a Titans defender.

To some, this may simply look like a hard-nosed run and one that is encouraged at the NFL level. To others, such as the league itself, this may be considered a dangerous play that needs to be eliminated from the game.

One positive from this is that it could discourage Skattebo from leading with his head, which obviously increases injury risk for himself and others. Skattebo only appeared in eight games as a rookie following a season-ending ankle injury.

The Giants desperately need him healthy all season with Dart out and Jameis Winston under center. Otherwise, the Giants may be set for a massive disappointment following so much preseason hype in John Harbaugh's first year in town.
