The Baltimore Ravens’ 2024 season ended in devastating fashion, with a narrow playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills that came down to a single, gut-wrenching play—a dropped two-point conversion by tight end Mark Andrews.
For Ravens fans, players, and coaches, it was an unbearable moment. But for Andrews himself, it was something far worse: a defining moment of heartbreak.
After remaining silent in the immediate aftermath, Andrews has now spoken out for the first time, offering an emotional and introspective response to the play that ended Baltimore’s season.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Andrews finally shared his thoughts on the game’s crushing final moments, reflecting on the pain, responsibility, and support he has felt since the loss.
💬 “It’s impossible to adequately express how I feel. I’m absolutely gutted by what happened on Sunday. I’m devastated for my teammates, my coaches and Ravens fans. 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. That is why it’s taken me until now to collect my thoughts and address this publicly.” – Mark Andrews, via Instagram

The Ravens’ loss to Buffalo was a hard-fought battle, with Lamar Jackson orchestrating a comeback drive that nearly forced overtime. With under two minutes left in the game:
✅ Jackson connected with Isaiah Likely for a clutch touchdown, bringing Baltimore within two points.
✅ On the game-tying two-point attempt, Jackson targeted Andrews, who found space near the goal line.
✅ The ball was in his hands… and then it wasn’t.
It was a moment of sheer disbelief—one that sent Ravens fans into stunned silence as Buffalo secured the victory and ended Baltimore’s Super Bowl hopes.
The frustration wasn’t just about Andrews dropping the pass—it was about the cruelty of football. The Ravens had battled all season to get to this moment, and one play was the difference between glory and heartbreak.
While Andrews expressed deep remorse, he also made one thing very clear:
🔥 This moment will not define his career.
Rather than let this loss consume him, Andrews is using it as fuel to come back even stronger. He also expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from Ravens fans, teammates, and coaches despite the bitter ending.
💬 “I’ve received so much love from fans, and that means the world to me. I promise I’ll be better, and I won’t let this moment define me.”
Despite the heartbreaking finish, Andrews had an incredible season, re-establishing himself as one of the NFL’s top tight ends.
