The Baltimore Ravens’ season ended in heartbreak with a 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round on Sunday night. The Ravens had a big chance to win but made too many mistakes, including some costly fumbles. Tight end Mark Andrews had to take most of the blame for the tough loss at the very end.
The turning point came when Mark Andrews dropped a crucial two-point conversion pass from Lamar Jackson with just 1:33 left in the game. The missed catch, which could have tied the score, sealed Baltimore’s fate. Fans and teammates were devastated when Andrews, who is normally dependable, let the ball slip from his hands.

Jackson attempted to steal the game with a daring two-point play, attempting to pass on the run to an open Andrews, but he dropped the pass. After the game, Jackson showed clear disappointment but defended Andrews, taking some of the blame himself.
He acknowledged that his eyes should have been on safety Taylor Rapp in the middle of the field. Meanwhile, fans on social media were harsh, heavily criticizing Andrews for the game-ending mistake.
Fans rip Mark Andrews after Ravens defeat
Was it Lamar Jackson’s bad throw or Mark Andrews’ missed catch? No one can say for sure. But the Ravens made other mistakes earlier in the game too. One big moment came in the third quarter when Derrick Henry’s five-yard touchdown run cut the Bills’ lead to 21-19 with 1:41 left.
Still, it’s Andrews’ last-minute drop that everyone is talking about. Fans on social media have been harsh, shouting loud over the 29-year-old tight end.
