Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews finally broke his silence on the dropped pass that ended his team's Super Bowl hopes. Days after the heartbreaking loss to the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round, Andrews opened up about his emotions and his plans to bounce back stronger.
Reflecting on the Pain of the Loss
On a social media post, Andrews issued a candid statement in which he spoke about his experience.
"I pour every ounce of my being into playing at the highest level possible because I love my team and the game of football like nothing else," he told ESPN. However, the feeling of disappointment was something he needed time to work through. In fact, he described it as "unlike any feeling" he has ever had before.
Despite the criticism that followed, Andrews remained reflective. "Shock and disappointment are part of this game, but I won't let this define me. This adversity will only make me stronger and fuel us as we move forward."

The Key Moments That Defined the Game
Andrews was at the epicenter of two crucial turning points. His lost fumble earlier in the game and that two-point dropped conversion in the last seconds determined the Ravens' loss. In this regard, such gaffes that have been viewed so harshly are acknowledged as tough, as Andrews thanks them for the positive reactions he receives.
However, he did find some solace in the midst of it: "I have been overwhelmed by love and encouragement from teammates and fans," he said, "not to mention my charity, Breakthrough T1D, which raises money for donations to support others living with type 1 diabetes."
Strength from Adversity
As TMZ Sports spotted, Andrews ended his post with a vow to return better than ever. "Even when the moment seems darkest, perspective can reveal that there's still a lot of light in this world. I'm now going to do my part to bounce back and contribute to it," he shared.
With the 2025 season behind him, Andrews looks at this experience as fuel for improvement. For Ravens fans, his heartfelt promise offers hope for redemption in the future, and with their star tight end back to lead from the front.
