Yet the most powerful moment came long after the play was over.
The hit that caused the injury came from Eagles linebacker
Instead — he went straight to the hospital to be by Skattebo’s side.
Witnesses confirmed Baun waited anxiously until doctors allowed him into the room. When Skattebo finally regained awareness, he saw the last person he expected standing there beside him — the man who accidentally ended his rookie season.
But there was no anger. No blame. Only respect.
Skattebo shared a heartfelt message to the football world:
“I don’t blame him — we’re all out there fighting for our teams. This is football, and injuries are the part nobody ever want. But when I opened my eyes and saw him standing there, I realized that respect in this game is bigger than any collision on the field. That moment said everything.”
Two players. Two rivals. One powerful reminder.
In a league driven by brutal hits and relentless competition, this moment cut through the noise — showing that football isn’t just about wins and losses. It’s about brotherhood. It’s about showing up when it matters most. And it’s about recognizing that even enemies on the field can be family off of it.
Skattebo is expected to undergo surgery and miss the remainder of his promising rookie campaign. The Giants have already begun preparing their backfield rotation, but the loss stings — not just for a team fighting to find its identity, but for a player whose season was just beginning to take off.
For now, Skattebo remains focused on healing — and grateful for the unexpected support in his toughest moment.
And for Baun, actions spoke louder than any rivalry could ever shout.
Football will resume. The rivalry will return.
But this moment? It won’t be forgotten.

Johnston has been one of Buffalo’s quiet weapons this season, flipping field position and consistently setting up the defense. Any setback here could significantly impact the Bills’ special teams unit.
For now, Buffalo waits anxiously. What looked like a routine punt has suddenly become a storyline with potentially major consequences for a team chasing Super Bowl dreams.
