They Tried To STOP His Backflip… 😂🏈

Cam Skattebo might be the most unpredictable player in the NFL. The New York Giants running back became known for his fearless, physical running style and signature backflip touchdown celebration, but those flips became a major talking point after Skattebo attempted one on stage at Fanatics Fest while coming back from the devastating leg and ankle injury that ended his rookie season. After the awkward landing went viral, Skattebo admitted he sometimes does “dumb things,” said Giants head coach John Harbaugh had talked to him about it, and joked that he had learned his lesson and would “probably” not do another backflip. Giants GM Joe Schoen made the team’s position even clearer, saying he would rather Skattebo not do them as New York tried to keep one of its most exciting young players healthy. But when Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season arrived against the Dallas Cowboys, Skattebo wasted almost no time changing his mind. In his first regular-season game back from injury, Cam Skattebo scored a three-yard rushing touchdown on the Giants’ opening drive and immediately celebrated with another backflip, this time sticking the landing. Skattebo finished with 81 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Giants defeated the Cowboys 28-20, adding another unforgettable moment to the growing Cam Skattebo story. From his Arizona State football breakout and NFL Draft journey to the New York Giants, Jaxson Dart, NFC East, Dallas Cowboys rivalry, Sunday Night Football, viral celebrations, backflips, comeback from injury and hard-nosed running style, Skattebo continues to establish himself as one of the NFL’s most entertaining young stars.
