Cam Skattebo Addresses Rumors He Played NBA 2K Before Giants' Win vs. Eagles

New York Giants rookie Cam Skattebo kept his mind clear before Thursday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles by potentially playing NBA 2K26.

Amid rumors that he was playing online earlier in the day, Skattebo addressed the situation with a joke comment on X:

Even though Skattebo didn't exactly confirm that the online player with his name and an avatar that bears some striking similarities to him, it would add to the first-year running back's budding legend.

If we assume Skattebo was playing 2K, there's no indication what team he was using nor if he won the online matchup.

It also makes for a great story that Skattebo was just chilling in his house or apartment in the morning, ventured over to MetLife Stadium in the afternoon and had the best game of his young career in the evening.

Skattebo ran for 98 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries in the Giants' shocking 34-17 upset win over the Eagles. He is up to ninth in the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 493 through six games.

The vibes around Skattebo couldn't be higher right now. He has injected life into the Giants since his role started to increase in Week 3. The 23-year-old has at least 90 yards from scrimmage in each of the past four games.

Based on how Skattebo played against the Eagles, Giants fans should encourage him to keep pregaming with NBA 2K26 since it seemed to give him more luck. He might it need in Week 7 since the Giants have a tough matchup with the Denver Broncos defense at Empower Field.
