Arizona State football icon Cam Skattebo met ex-Arizona Cardinals disappointment Marvin Harrison Jr. on Sunday, Oct. 25, in Houston, and Skattebo's New York Giants pulled off the upset over the Texans in overtime, 27-21.
Skattebo, who had been benched following fumble problems recently, had a definite edge to his play in this one, capping a huge day with a 42-yard run to set up New York's Devin Singletary's game-winning 30-yard touchdown run.
Skattebo finished with 124 yards with a touchdown on 17 carries and added one reception, with his touchdown run punctuated by a signature backflip.
On the other side, the Texans again saw virtually nothing from Harrison Jr., whom they acquired from the Cardinals along with a sixth-round pick in 2027 in exchange for a 2027 second-rounder and seventh-rounder.
Harrison Jr., targeted four times, made only one catch for 6 yards and saw another potentially big play fizzle when a C.J. Stroud pass deflected off his hands -- a catchable ball for a first-round draft pick.
The Texans fell to 2-5 as their disappointing season continued to spiral.
The Giants stunned the disgruntled home crowd and moved to 4-2-1 and grabbed firm control of the NFC East.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, who play on Monday Night Football, are 2-4 in a tie for second place.
