When the Ravens won their overtime coin toss against the Falcons on Sunday night, it was somewhat surprising that they elected to receive. After all, Michael Penix Jr. was struggling with hurt ribs. They could have forced the Falcons to make a quick decision.
It turned out that they just weren't scared of Tua Tagovailoa at all. Like, to the point that Kyle Hamilton was calling his interception before it happened.
Speaking on his self-titled podcast, The Marlon Humphrey Show, the Ravens cornerback recalled Hamilton's reaction upon seeing Tagovailoa emerge from Atlanta's sidelines instead of Penix Jr. Hamilton openly said that Tagovailoa was going to throw him a pick.
Two plays into the drive, Hamilton would be proven right.

says as soon as Tua Tagovailoa entered the game, S Kyle Hamilton knew he was getting an INT. “Kyle was like, ‘TUA IN THE GAME.’ He was like, ‘He gonna throw me one.’ It was the most excited I’ve probably seen Kyle.” (🎥 The Marlon Humphrey Show / YT) pic.twitter.com/4XPmsUuOza

Ouch. Hamilton had never been more excited, apparently.
The good news for the Falcons is that Penix Jr. didn't suffer a significant rib injury. He's expected to start Sunday's game against the Bears if there is no setback during the week.
