The Baltimore Ravens have arguably the NFL’s top defense specifically because they harass quarterbacks to no end. During Sunday’s matchup with the Cleveland Browns, Deshaun Watson — who once faced more than 20 allegations of sexual misconduct — would assuredly be no different.
And it took almost no time at all.
On Cleveland’s second offensive snap of the game, Watson tried to hit tight end David Njoku on a quick dump-off. The problem for Watson was that Baltimore safety Kyle Hamilton saw the play coming and jumped the passing lane perfectly. Hamilton read the play so well, in fact, that he tipped the ball to himself and walked in a pick-six that even the Fox broadcast camera failed to keep track of.
I’m still marveling at the absurdity of this athleticism by Hamilton:
KYLE HAMILTON WALKED IN THE PICK-6 🔥

Here’s another Madden-like first-person angle showing how quickly Hamilton embarrassed Watson:
Tipped it to himself and walked it in 💪

I mean, my goodness. Has there been a better interception during the entire 2023 NFL season? Will there even be a better pick by the time Super Bowl 58 concludes? I have my doubts.
This was how Twitter reacted to Hamilton's ridiculous pick-six of Watson
THAT’S A BAD MAN@kyledhamilton_ #IrishInTheNFL☘️ https://t.co/DiZtGzuV9y
