How Lamar Jackson reacted to Mark Andrews' miscue, Ravens' playoff loss

Arguably, the biggest single moment from the Baltimore Ravens' 27-25 divisional-round playoff loss at the Buffalo Bills this past Sunday involved Baltimore tight end Mark Andrews dropping what should've been a game-tying two-point conversion with 1:33 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Tuesday's "Hard Knocks: In Season With the AFC North" episode showed how Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson reacted to Andrews' miscue on the sideline as the Bills ran the clock out. 

"It’s all of us," Jackson said after he consoled Andrews, as Andrew Battifarano of the New York Post shared. "We’re a team, bro. We’re a team. It’s all of us, bro, it ain’t just you."

With a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line, Andrews endured a fourth quarter he'd probably prefer to forget. Before he became responsible for a drop that could go down as an all-time Buffalo sports moment, depending on what happens over the next few weeks, he lost a fumble near midfield while trying to gain a few more yards after a catch with roughly 8:45 left to play. 

Shortly after the defeat, Ravens players such as Jackson and safety Kyle Hamilton publicly defended Andrews. However, an audio clip from Tuesday's program clarified how much Jackson's latest playoff heartbreak hurt him.

"I don’t let s--- linger, but I just know how these types of games be. That’s why I kept saying: 'Ah, man.' I’m mad, bro. I ain’t gonna be alright," Jackson explained. 

While speaking with reporters after the loss, Jackson acknowledged he was "tired of this s---." He could become a three-time regular-season Most Valuable Player Award winner next month, but his resume includes a 3-5 record as a postseason starter and zero Super Bowl appearances. 

On Monday, Ravens fullback Patrick Ricard insisted that it's "inevitable" Jackson will eventually win at least one Super Bowl with the Ravens. Jackson and Co. have shown in the past that they can bounce back from massive playoff disappointments, and Baltimore should again be viewed as a championship contender when September rolls around. 

Predictions for the 2025 campaign likely mean little to Jackson, Andrews and other members of the Baltimore locker room in the early days of their offseason.
