John Harbaugh, Lamar Jackson defends Mark Andrews after fumbling and losing Ravens’ loss

Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had a brutal fourth quarter in Sunday’s loss to the Bills, losing a fumble and then dropping a two-point conversion attempt. After the game, coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Lamar Jackson both defended Andrews.

“There’s nobody who has more heart and cares more and fights more than Mark. We wouldn’t be here without Mark Andrews,” Harbaugh said. “Mark will do great like he always does because he’s a person with high character, he’s a tough person and he’s a good person. I’m proud of him, as I am all the guys.”

Jackson pointed the finger at his own mistakes rather than anything Andrews did.

“We’re a team. First half I had two turnovers,” Jackson said when asked about Andrews. “It’s a team effort. He has exploded and made plays for us. . . . We all played a part in this game. It’s a team effort. I don’t want to put it on Mark because he’s struggled all season, he’s done big things all season.”

Andrews is one of the best players in Ravens franchise history, but it’s a sad reality that this could be the most memorable game of his career. On two crucial plays, Jackson put the ball in Andrews’ hands and Andrews lost the ball.
