Baltimore Ravens refuse to blame Mark Andrews for loss - ESPN

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — After another frustrating finish in the playoffs, a ticked-off Lamar Jackson refused to blame tight end Mark Andrews' dropped pass on a late 2-point conversion attempt for the Baltimore Ravens' 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Sunday's AFC divisional game.

Instead, the reigning NFL most valuable player directed his anger at the Ravens' three uncharacteristic turnovers.

«Every time we in situations like this, turnovers play a factor,» Jackson said while slapping his right hand into his left. «We can't have that s--- and that's why we lost the game. As you can see, we're moving the ball wonderfully… it's hold on to the f---ing ball. I'm sorry for my language. This s--- is annoying. I'm tired of this s---.»

Despite the turnovers — which included two by Jackson — the Ravens had a chance to tie the score in the fourth quarter. Jackson's 24-yard touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah Likely trimmed Baltimore's deficit to 27-25 with 1:33 left in the game.

On the 2-point conversion attempt, Jackson's pass hit Andrews in the stomach before the ball slipped through his grasp as he fell backward into the end zone.

«There's nobody that has more heart and cares more and fights more than Mark,» Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. «We wouldn't be here without Mark Andrews. Destiny is a decision that you make and how you handle what comes in your life. Mark will handle it fantastic.»

Andrews was not available to speak to reporters after a game in which he made uncharacteristic mistakes.

Before Sunday's game, Andrews hadn't dropped a pass since Week 6 against Washington in October. In the divisional game, Andrews dropped two passes, including the critical 2-point conversion attempt.
