I played fifty-plus snaps, and I was soaking wet... I had more confidence in holding onto the ball without gloves than I did with gloves, and it bit me in the ass... I've given the ball up three times, four on paper... Whether your hands are wet or not you've gotta protect the football.

Skattebo played 50+ snaps but fumbled late; ball security is now his critical weakness.

Skattebo played 50-plus snaps in the Commanders game, confirming heavy workload and No. 1 back role; however, he fumbled late in the game and acknowledged ball security as his critical weakness. He removed his gloves in the fourth quarter and overtime, believing bare hands would help him hold the ball better, but the strategy backfired. Skattebo stated: 'I had more confidence in holding onto the ball without gloves than I did with gloves, and it bit me in the ass.' He acknowledged fumbling three to four times and accepted criticism, saying 'If you protect the ball you'll be OK, and if you don't you're not going to have a job,' and committed to making ball security his No. 1 focus.
