After the game, Skattebo was interviewed by SportsCenter's Scott Van Pelt . He was asked how he is able to stay focused on football while being in the city that doesn't sleep.
"I be playing video games, taking care of my body," Skattebo revealed about his off-field activities. "There's not a thing that can get me out of the zone of football right now. [I'm] just continuing to work and make sure that these guys are staying focused and, like I said, bringing the energy to make sure that these guys know I'm locked in and we're all locked in together."
So, Giants fans don't have to worry about Skattebo not being locked in going forward. He is all in for this year, and that should bode well for the team's future.
