John Harbaugh defends Mark Andrews for brutal drop with Ravens tight end silent

The Ravens didn’t place blame on Mark Andrews after two devastating fourth quarter mistakes by the veteran tight end in a 27-25 loss to the Bills in the Divisional Round game on Sunday.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh defended Andrews after he had a costly fumble and dropped a game-tying two-point conversion attempt with less than two minutes to play at Highmark Stadium in snowy Buffalo.

“There’s nobody that has more heart, cares more, and fights more than Mark,” Harbaugh told reporters after the game. “We wouldn’t be here without Mark Andrews.”

“… Mark will handle it fantastically like he always does, because he’s a high-character person, a tough person and a good person. Proud of him like I’m proud of all the guys.”

Andrews, who entered Sunday’s game without a dropped pass since Week 6, did not speak to the media afterwards.

The Ravens were trailing by eight points late in the fourth quarter, when quarterback Lamar Jackson connected with tight end Isaiah Likely in the end zone.
