Baltimore Ravens second-year tight end Isaiah Likely is doing his best to cover for the loss of Mark Andrews...and he's doing it well.

In the first half against the Pittsburgh Steelers , the Ravens offense with Tyler Huntley under center failed to get anything going in a rain-soaked M&T Bank Stadium.

Baltimore's first four possessions went punt, punt, fumble punt, and with just over four minutes remaining in the first half, the offense finally got rolling.

In the driving rain, Tyler Huntley hit completions of 16, 29, and then the 27-yard strike to Likely who battled his way into the endzone to score his fifth touchdown of the season.

Since taking over the TE1 spot with Andrews missing all of the regular season and potentially the playoffs as well, the All-Pro's absence has hardly been felt.

Likely, in his second year, has had receiving totals of 40, 83, 70, 56, and 42 and also hauled in four touchdowns, now we add in his efforts against the Steelers, Likely is putting his best foot forward.

With the playoffs just around the corner, the Ravens have weapons everywhere you look, but one that might not have been on many people's bingo card was Likely.

He was an unknown commodity before Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers...he isn't now.
