Mark Andrews of the Ravens is under scrutiny following two crucial errors that contributed to their playoff loss to the Bills.

In the divisional round, the Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews discovered the importance of every play, particularly in the playoffs, as the team lost to the Buffalo Bills.

A fumble in the fourth quarter and a dropped pass on a two-point conversion attempt led to Buffalo's victory over the Bills in a 27-25 game.

The three-time Pro Bowler had five catches on seven targets for 61 yards. However, it was the two critical plays that had the NFL world talking. Andrews received the most criticism for his mistakes.

After the game, John Harbaugh, the Ravens head coach, was supported by Andrews and his teammates.

Mark Andrews is crucial to our success, Harbaugh stated through The Athletic.

In 2024, Andrews had 55 catches for 673 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns, as Harbaugh pointed out.

To comment on him, you must examine yourself, according to Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton.

Baltimore turned the ball over three times in the loss.

The Ravens failed to reach the Super Bowl once again, as they haven't participated in the game since the 2012 season when Joe Flacco was still playing.

Despite making the playoffs in six out of seven seasons, Baltimore has not yet managed to reach the Super Bowl.
