Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton saw his day in Week 6 come to an early end in the third quarter after being ejected for a nasty hit on wide receiver Chris Moore.
To kick off Week 6 in the NFL, the league is in London, England for a third straight weekend, and the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens opened the festivities. Over the first two quarters, the Birds dominated and took an 18-3 lead into halftime.
However, the tide started to change in the third, and the 2-3 Titans were able to inch a bit closer with a field goal. Their defense made a stop and was able to get the ball back and began one of their best drives of the day. But it was all put on pause after a brutal hit on a passing play.
Baltimore Ravens Kyle Hamilton ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit
On a throw from starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill to big-play receiver Chris Moore, the eight-year man went up and seemed to win a jump ball for the pigskin. However, when he landed his first foot and began to turn upfield, he was slammed violently into by safety Kyle Hamilton.

But the blow was no ordinary hard hit. Instead, the first-round pick from 2022 used the crown of his helmet and landed it right on the side of Moore’s head. While the receiver wasn’t knocked out cold, he was very badly dazed, and watching him trying to get back to his feet and off the field was a bit scary.
Following the play and penalty for unnecessary roughness, Hamilton was ejected from the game. The Titans were able to get a small bit of revenge as they were able to score a touchdown a few plays later and get the score to 18-13 as the two teams neared the fourth quarter.
