Cam Skattebo's peculiar behavior after being tackled in "Monday Night Football" had viewers, fans, and critics wondering whether the New York Giants' running back had malfunctioned. Skattebo, finally healthy again, was back for his second game of the new season after last year's season-ending injury in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately, he ran into a tough Rams defense during his attempts to rack up any yards or touchdowns for the Giants.
And in some strange footage that went viral online, Skattebo appeared to be "glitching" on the sidelines and in the game. The Giants star's head kept jittering or shaking, which caught plenty of viewers off guard. It also drew a lot of reactions to his noticeable head shakes, including likening his behavior to a video-game character.

However, many others commented that there isn't anything wrong with Skattebo and instead something he and other football players might commonly do.
"He does it to be comfortable in his helmet. Did in college as well," one commenter wrote, while another said, "Bro has done it since Highschool. He addressed it at ASU has a compulsive issue with his helmet." As a commenter mentioned, Skattebo previously addressed shaking his head like that.
In a 2022 social media post, he explained it was due to sweating under his helmet. "Twitter just thought I should address the head shakes during the game lol . During the game I sweat and it causes my face to be wet.
