Stewart, sending him to the turf after a big gain on the ground.Skattebo was livid at the call, as was head coach John Harbaugh , who had to hold his running back behind him on the sideline before displaying his own displeasure at the flag being thrown.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE After the game, where Skattebo’s 42-yard run in overtime helped set up Devin Singletary’s 30-yard touchdown to seal victory for New York, the second-year running back didn’t mince words as he took a shot at the league as a whole.”Yeah, I’ll keep that conversation between us,” Skattebo said when asked what was said to the official following the unnecessary roughness call. “I will say, man, the NFL loves to post me when I do stuff like that, but then also wants to take stuff from me.

After a bizarre 2025 season, the Kansas City Chiefs are right back at the top of the NFL in 2026 and already well on their way toward yet another Chiefs-Bills AFC Championship game.But last year’s Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks, have been far less convincing. After opening the season with two wins over the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals, Seattle entered the weekend just 1-3 since. The surprising loss to the Commanders was followed by a win over the hapless LA Chargers, then two frustrating losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos in overtime.This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.
