NFL media reporter Melissa Stark was reporting live from the NFL London game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Partway through the live broadcast, a stray football spiralled toward Stark and clocked her in the back of the head.

Stark handled the situation like a total pro, noting it comes with the territory of a “live report.”

Twitter had a field day with the situation, laughing at the blooper and praising Stark for her composure.

Love the sportsmanship you showed here and kept right on with your report. Now listed as questionable 😂
