Cam Skattebo had luck go his way despite committing a fumble during the New York Giants' overtime contest against the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon.

Skattebo is going through the second season of his NFL career with the Giants. He emerged as a major bright spot for New York as a rookie last year before injuries shut him down.

Skattebo returned in full force this year, being productive as a fierce rusher with his strength and physicality. However, he isn't immune to errors as he fumbled the ball during overtime that Washington recovered. Fortunately for him, the Commanders failed to capitalize as they mismanaged the clock and ended up settling for the draw.

The star running back reflected on his mistake after the game, per reporter Pat Leonard. He expressed relief that Washington didn't score on its final drive, knowing that otherwise would have seen him cost New York the game.

“Cam Skattebo says it was a “sigh of relief” seeing the clock hit zeroes on a tie and not a loss. Blames himself for the fumble and says it won’t happen again #Giants,” Leonard wrote.
