All-Pro Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton left the third quarter of Sunday's AFC North showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a concussion, and Baltimore quickly ruled him out for the rest of the game.
The Steelers immediately took advantage of his absence with their first touchdown drive of the game following his exit.

Hamilton sustained the injury on Pittsburgh's first drive of the half when he collided helmet-to-helmet with teammate Alohi Gilman. The back of Hamilton's helmet hit the turf after the collision.
Hamilton remained down of the turf for several moments, but was eventually able to walk off the field on his own.
Both Gilman and Hamilton underwent concussion evaluation in a sideline medical tent. Gilman was cleared to return, but Hamilton left the field on a cart. The Ravens ruled him out before the conclusion of the third quarter.
Following Hamilton's exit, the Steelers marched for their first touchdown of the game to tie it at 10-10.

A three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro in his four NFL seasons, Hamilton is the anchor of Baltimore's secondary and arguably their most valuable defender. In addition to the concern for his health, the Ravens are significantly handicapped without him on the field.
The winner of Sunday's game wins the AFC North and goes to the playoffs. The loser's season is done.
