It was a great performance for running back Cam Skattebo , as he played a key part in helping his team get the win. However, after the game, Skattebo had some choice words for the NFL after being penalized for lowering his helmet. The 24-year-old was given a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty during the contest after delivering a hard hit on Texans safety M.J. Stewart. After the game, Skattebo claimed that he has no intention of changing his playing style and called out the NFL a bit for consistently hyping him up for how he plays football, but then turning around and penalizing him for playing hard. “The NFL loves to post me when I do stuff like that,” Skattebo said. “But then also wants to take stuff from me. If I’m going to continue to get flagged for it, or fined for it, I guess I’m going to play for free.” Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial) While the second-year pro did lower his shoulder and deliver a hard hit, the contact looked rather similar to what you’d see in old Mike Alstott highlights.
