Baltimore Ravens star Kyle Hamilton was ejected from the clash with the Tennessee Titans in London after he hit receiver Chris Moore with a heavy helmet-to-helmet tackle.

After the Titans picked off Lamar Jackson to find themselves in scoring position, quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw up a deep ball towards Moore. As the receiver tracked the pass, Hamilton came steaming over and struck the unknowing Moore.

The collision left a dazed Moore struggling to get to his feet as Hamilton celebrated. The officials swiftly ejected him from the game, leaving Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh and Hamilton himself incensed.

The Titans took full advantage, too. After taking the yards to move closer to the end zone, Tannehill handed the ball off to superstar running back Derrick Henry, who darted to the left to showcase his pace and power to score a 15-yard touchdown.

When Tennessee’s Moore extended his arms to catch the high pass, Hamilton launched into him head-first and hit him hard, causing the receiver to lose the ball. It is unclear if he perhaps even momentarily lost consciousness.

Ultimately, flags were thrown immediately and Hamilton was ejected after a brief discussion. Hamilton was visibly upset with the call, but it was the correct one as these are exactly the hits that the NFL is trying to faze out of the sport.

Thankfully, Moore was able to get up and walk off under his own power. He appeared to be concussed and has since been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Moore has hauled in four passes for 134 yards so far in 2023. After three quarters, the Ravens lead the Titans 18-13 in London.
