The reason Giants RB Cam Skattebo was fined $7,073 after Texans game

The NFL has fined New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo $7,073 for lowering his helmet and making forcible contact with an opponent during the team’s 27-21 overtime win over the Houston Texans in Week 7. The incident occurred in the first quarter when Skattebo lowered his head while running into Houston safety MJ Stewart, resulting in a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty. The flag erased a seven-yard gain, with New York leading 7-3 at the time. This is the second time Skattebo has been fined $7,073 for illegal helmet use this season.
