Giants Rookie Cam Skattebo Fuels Comeback Hopes with 'Skattebo Thang' Sandwich

Middletown, NJ — October 10, 2025 — The New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 34-17 on Thursday Night Football, and rookie wing Cam Skattebo was at the heart of the upset victory. With a 2-4 record, the Giants are counting on Skattebo’s relentless drive to pull off a comeback, and Middletown’s favorite fast-food joint, Taliercio’s Ultimate Gourmet, has gotten in on the victory fever with a new sandwich called the “Skattebo Thang” — a cheeky tribute that has Eagles fans excited.

Skattebo’s Breakout Night

At 6-foot-10 and 210 pounds, Cam Skattebo ripped through the Eagles’ defense, racking up 98 yards and three touchdowns in the Giants’ Week 6 win at MetLife Stadium. His powerful runs and exuberant upside-down celebration lit up the stadium, snapping an eight-game losing streak to NFC East opponents. Skattebo’s determination, coupled with Jaxson Dart’s 195 passing yards and Brian Burns’ two touchdowns, handed the defending Super Bowl champions a huge and embarrassing upset.

“Cam is a dynamo,” said teammate Wan’Dale Robinson. “He has that energy that gets people excited.” Skattebo’s breakout performance sent Giants Nation into a frenzy, and Taliercio didn’t miss the chance to celebrate the promising rookie.

"Skattebo Thang": A Culinary Masterpiece

The upscale eatery Taliercio, ranked No. 4 on NJ.com's "39 ​​Best Italian Shops in New Jersey" list and dubbed "Deli Disneyworld" for its more than 1,600 sandwiches, debuted the "Skattebo Thang" on Friday morning. The bold, "big" sandwich is a tribute to Skattebo's own style of play.

Eric Taliercio, co-owner, couldn't contain his excitement: "Cam Skattebo is a game-changer, and this sandwich is as explosive as he was in Philly. The "Skattebo Thang" is big, bold, and flavorful — just like Cam's crazy runs and backflips."

Inspired by a viral X post predicting Skattebo would get a sandwich named after him, Taliercio’s team took his love of fries and created a creation that fit his energetic style. The shop’s social media has been flooded with fans eager to try it.

A punch to Philly and a shot at Giants pride

The “Skattebo Thang” isn’t just a sandwich — it’s a delicious jab at Eagles fans. “We took Philly down, and now we’re serving a cheesesteak-inspired sandwich that’s better than anything they have,” Taliercio says with a smirk. Located in Monmouth County, where Giants and Eagles fandoms are always vibrant, Taliercio thrives on the competitive spirit. “We have both fan bases here, and that fun always keeps the place busy,” he adds.

As Giants Nation embraced Skattebo, one thing was clear: the rookie wasn't just making plays on the field—he was inspiring a Revolution fast-food restaurant. Sorry, Eagles fans—this sandwich is a Giants touchdown you can't defend.

Despite a 2-4 start, the Giants were riding high after the Eagles upset. Skattebo's three-touchdown night, coupled with a revitalized offense and defense, had fans dreaming of a playoff run. "This win was important, but we have to keep going," Skattebo said postgame. With tough games like the Denver Broncos in Week 7 looming, Skattebo's fire will be key.

At Taliercio's, the "Skattebo Thang" has become a draw for fans eager to sample a sandwich as daring as the rookie himself. For Giants fans, it's a great way to celebrate a long-awaited NFC East win—and a reminder that Skattebo is just getting started.
