Story summary

Cam Skattebo, the Giants' running back, faced traffic issues before the team's "Sunday Night Football" game against the Cowboys. Fans at MetLife Stadium captured video of Skattebo in his lifted Ford pickup truck, stuck in traffic with other tailgaters and pleading to be allowed to pass through. "Let me in. I’m the running back," he allegedly yelled. Despite arriving around 5:50 p.m., approximately 2.5 hours before kickoff, Skattebo participated fully in the game. He scored the first touchdown for the Giants with a wide-open counter play from the goal line and celebrated with his signature backflip combination.
