Giants' Cam Skattebo flagged for illegal helmet use in Week 7

In Week 7 of the NFL, Cam Skattebo of the Giants was the only player flagged for illegal use of the helmet. While eight infractions were fined, Skattebo's violation resulted in a penalty during the game, which was notable since such calls are infrequent. The league imposed a fine of $7,073 on Skattebo, while other players, including Bears cornerback Clark Phillips and Broncos safety Brandon Jones, received fines totaling over $23,000. The officials typically do not call these penalties, making Skattebo's situation unusual. This came one week after similar fines were issued for helmet violations across the league.
