Melissa Stark of the NFL Network kept her head in the game Sunday after a rogue football smashed her in the noggin.

Stark was reporting on the field before the Los Angeles Chargers-Tennessee Titans game in London when a ball hit her in the back of the head.

She shrugged it off like a pro.

β€œOh, OK. Nothing like live television. I’m OK,” she said.

Then she quickly transitioned into a hamstring injury report on Chargers running back Melvin Gordon. Smooth.

Stark later quipped that she was β€œreally taking one for the team.”

β€œI might be on the injury report,” she said. β€œI am now officially questionable.”

Realizing she had a viral moment here, Stark also tweeted on the incident.

Way to shake it off, Melissa.

The Chargers beat the Titans 20-19 at Wembley Stadium.
