Brandon Jacobs Apologizes for Helmet Toss Into Indianapolis Crowd

Filed under: Colts, GiantsBrandon Jacobs lost his cool Sunday night, and his helmet too. The disgruntled Giants running back apologized for unintentionally tossing his helmet into the stands during the third quarter of New York's 38-14 loss to the Colts.

Jacobs, who struggled with just eight yards on four carries, said he was trying to throw his helmet behind the visitors' bench, but it got caught onto the sticky leather of his gloves and instead went into the stands. Jacobs was apparently upset after he was stopped for no gain on a cutback rushing attempt.

"I was frustrated and went to throw it down on the ground, and it got caught on my finger and went into (the stands)," he said. "I apologize for that. It was frustration on my part."

In an odd scene, security then had to retrieve the helmet from a reluctant fan who wanted to keep the helmet. After some back-and-forth haggling, a security guard snatched the helmet away from the fan.
