Since his rookie year in 2018, tight end Mark Andrews has been a crucial cog in the Baltimore Ravens' machine—and one of quarterback Lamar Jackson's favorite targets.
However, Andrews has been under the microscope this week after dropping a potential tying two-point conversion in the Ravens' 27–25 divisional-round loss to the Buffalo Bills.
In the aftermath of Baltimore's defeat, coach John Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday that he communicated an uplifting message to the tight end.
“Mark is a huge part of our future and we love him,” Harbaugh said. “We’re there for him. If anybody can take a tough circumstance like that and handle it with class and grace and dignity and mental toughness, it’s most definitely Mark Andrews.”
“Mark is a huge part of our future.”

This season, Andrews caught 55 passes for 673 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns. The former Oklahoma All-American has Pro Bowl berths under his belt in 2019, 2021 and 2022; a 1,361-receiving-yard season in '21 netted him All-Pro honors as well.
With one year left on his contract, Andrews will have plenty of motivation to bounce back.
