Lamar Jackson refused to allow Mark Andrews bear sole responsibility for the Baltimore Ravens’ Divisional Round loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Andrews made two critical mistakes in the fourth quarter of the Ravens’ 27-25 loss to the Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. Andrews was responsible for a costly fumble and later a missed two-point conversion attempt that would have tied the game with 1:33 remaining (videos here).
During his postgame press conference, Jackson was asked to give his message for Andrews after the game.
“We’re a team,” Jackson stated when asked what he told Andrews. “…It is not his fault. “We are not going to put that on Mark.”
Jackson reminded reporters that the Ravens quarterback was guilty for two of Baltimore’s three turnovers. Jackson threw an interception to end the Ravens’ second drive of the game before fumbling the ball on the following drive.
On Baltimore’s final drive, however, Jackson appeared to be on the verge of redeeming himself. He guided the Ravens on an 8-play, 88-yard touchdown drive that included a catchable ball to Andrews for the two-point conversion. The tight end’s drop dashed the Ravens’ Super Bowl dreams this season.
