NFL Could Step In With Punishment Over Houston Texans Game

The NFL may issue fines following the game between the Houston Texans and the New York Giants, primarily focusing on Giants running back Cam Skattebo. During the first quarter, officials flagged Skattebo for a 15-yard impermissible use of the helmet penalty after he lowered his helmet into Texans safety M.J. Stewart. Because Skattebo was previously fined $7,073 for the same offense after Week 3, a second offense could carry a fine of up to $47,762.

The league could also discipline Houston Texans cornerback Ja'Marcus Ingram, who received a penalty for a late hit on a kickoff before halftime. Ingram's infraction carries potential fines reaching up to $11,941 for a first offense. The NFL ultimately issues disciplinary fines at its discretion.
