The NFL is a dangerous game, and that goes for sideline reporters, too.
Ahead of the game in London between the Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, Melissa Stark found that out the hard way.
As you can see in the video below, Stark took a pregame pass to the face, which had to have been a painful experience:

Fortunately, she seemed to be OK, and she didn’t get fazed at all by the errant pass.
Total professionalism by Stark there, and maybe next time, she’ll have her head on more of a swivel during the high-stakes world of pregame reporting.
