Hamilton executed critical snaps, including one that set up a game-winning 56-yard field goal by Cam Little for a 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Hamilton previously stepped in during a game last year and demonstrated his versatility by handling both punting and place-kicking duties despite not practicing the role regularly. His performance was praised by teammates and coaches, contributing to a memorable win that could see him retained as an emergency option should Matiscik be unable to play next week.
