Marlon Humphrey told a story on his show that when Tua Tagovailoa entered Sunday's game for the Falcons in overtime, Hamilton got loud, supposedly shouting \"TUA IN THE GAME\" and predicting Tagovailoa would throw him an interception.\n\nHamilton called that account \"pretty hyperbolic,\" tamping down the idea that he called his shot with that much enthusiasm. Whatever actually happened in the moment, the result backed up the prediction: Hamilton intercepted Tagovailoa in overtime, sealing a 30-23 win for Baltimore and ending Atlanta's comeback bid.\n\nTagovailoa had come in for an injured Michael Penix Jr. and immediately threw the game-ending pick, making for an ugly cameo in relief. The interception, and now the dueling accounts of how it was called, has become the lingering storyline from Baltimore's Week 5 win, with Hamilton seemingly more interested in correcting the record than celebrating the takeaway.","published_at":"2026-10-16T05:19:20.697634+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"'Pretty hyperbolic': Kyle Hamilton clarifies his reaction to Tua Tagovailoa before INT","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7694005/2026/10/15/tua-tagovailoa-kyle-hamilton-reaction-interception/"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Marlon Humphrey: Kyle Hamilton got excited when Tua Tagovailoa entered the game","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/marlon-humphrey-kyle-hamilton-got-excited-when-tua-tagovailoa-entered-the-game"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Falcons Get Embarrassing Tua Tagovailoa Admission From Ravens Defender","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/falcons-embarrassing-tua-tagovailoa-admission-041854402.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ravens’ Marlon Humphrey buries Tua Tagovailoa with Kyle Hamilton revelation right before game-ending INT","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ravens-marlon-humphrey-buries-tua-163811842.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kyle Hamilton apparently called his interception after seeing Tua Tagovailoa enter game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kyle-hamilton-apparently-called-interception-171851634.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"“He Better Throw Me One”: Marlon Humphrey Reveals Ravens Teammate's Reaction After Watching Tua Tagovailoa Get Subbed In","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/better-throw-one-marlon-humphrey-180744195.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ravens’ Kyle Hamilton sets record straight on Marlon Humphrey’s wild Tua Tagovailoa story","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ravens-kyle-hamilton-sets-record-035732580.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/3786542/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F550%2F747%2Fnbc_pft_michaelpenixjr_261015.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
