Atlanta Falcons safety Damonate Kazee was ejected from Sunday’s Falcons-Panthers game for laying a dirty helmet-to-helmet hit on Carolina QB Cam Newton.

Here’s another angle:

The hit lead to a scuffle between the two teams. Though a penalty was assessed, no other players were ejected.
Cam Newton takes a cheap shot to the head from the Falcons DB.

Remarkably, Cam Newton was able to re-enter the game shortly after and cap off the same drive with a touchdown pass.
