New York Giants star Cam Skattebo has revealed he was left vomiting on the sidelines during their defeat on Thursday night after eating a bizarre pre-game meal.
The Giants were dealt their third loss of the season after falling to a 24-21 defeat to the Washington Commanders during their NFC East showdown.
Returning running back Skattebo had a decent showing on the night, rushing for 78 yards and two scores on 18 touches, all while being derailed by a dodgy meal before.
Speaking to media after the game, Skattebo explained: ‘I had a pretzel-wrapped hot dog. Didn’t sit right in the stomach.
‘Nothing crazy, got rid of it. Felt good after.’
During the second quarter of the game, Amazon Prime cameras spotted the Giants star throwing up on the sideline before laughing it off and covering it with a towel.

Sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung said: ‘Guys, just moments ago, Cam Skattebo leaned over and he threw up at his feet, onto the turf.
‘Medical staff came over to check on him but before too long he was smiling and laughing and he did cover up the mess he made with a towel.’
Analyst Kirk Herbstreit added: ‘That’s all part of the fun for Skattebo.’
The Giants running back had earlier caught attention after turning into a superhero on Thursday night with his bold choice of pre-game headgear.
The burly running back was pictured strolling into MetLife Stadium for his team’s clash with the Washington Commanders in an iconic piece of movie memorabilia.
Skattebo channeled his inner Tony Stark by wearing a custom-made Iron Man helmet that had the Giants logo on the side.
The blue and silver headpiece also closes automatically at the push of a button, similarly to the way Robert Downey Jr’s would in the iconic Marvel movies.
Skattebo lifted the facemask portion up as he arrived at the stadium to greet fans and sign autographs.
