sorts for Skattebo:

What This Means for the Giants
This win over the Eagles shifts
momentum:
- Rookie
duo shines
The pairing of Dart and Skattebo now looks like the foundation for New York’s offense going forward. - Depth
showing
With injuries affecting other running backs (Tyrone Tracy Jr. is reportedly out or injured) SI, Skattebo is proving that the Giants can rely on him as a lead back. - Confidence
& identity
Beating a defending champion boosts morale. The Giants can now lean into a tougher, physical identity anchored in the run game. - Challenges
for Eagles
The Eagles’ offense sputtered in the second half, and this loss raises questions about their ability to adjust.
