New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo said a pregame snack caused him to vomit on the sideline during the team’s Week 10 loss to the Washington Commanders.
The Giants fell 24–21 in the divisional matchup, dropping to 5-3-1 but remaining atop the NFC East. Skattebo’s sideline illness briefly worried fans, but he said it was nothing serious.
## Skattebo Blames Pregame Snack
Skattebo explained that he had eaten a pretzel-wrapped hot dog before the game, and it did not agree with his stomach. After vomiting, he said, he felt better.
“I had a pretzel-wrapped hot dog. It didn’t sit right in the stomach. Nothing crazy. Got rid of it, felt good after,” Skattebo said after the game.
He finished with 18 carries for 78 rushing yards and two touchdowns, playing a major role in the Giants’ offense. New York led before the Commanders rallied late in the fourth quarter to secure the win.
## Skattebo Remains Confident in the Giants
Despite the loss to a division rival, Skattebo said he still believes the Giants can make a postseason run. He emphasized the importance of winning the team’s remaining games.
“We’ve got to go in the next 5-6 games not wanting to lose. We’ve got to win the football games. I’m not too worry about it. They got us this time. But we’ve got the rest of the division to handle and we’ll let it work itself out,” Skattebo said.
The Giants remain in a position to contend for a playoff spot, but each game will be important as the season continues.
