The Baltimore Ravens witnessed history on Sunday as Mark Andrews officially etched his name into the franchise record books. With a vintage 13-yard touchdown catch from Lamar Jackson in the Ravens’ 35-14 win over the Giants, Andrews notched his 48th career touchdown, surpassing Jamal Lewis for the most in team history.
The two celebrated the milestone with a chest bump that summed up their chemistry, forged over six-plus seasons. For a tight end to take the crown in a franchise built on defense and the run game? That says everything you need to know about Andrews’ consistency and dominance.
Andrews’ record-breaking moment was part of a standout performance by the Ravens’ offense, but what made it sweeter was the subtext. This wasn’t just another touchdown—it was a message to anyone who doubted Andrews’ importance to Baltimore.
Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews didn’t forget Andrews’ trade speculation
For those keeping receipts, Lamar Jackson’s postgame comments were as fiery as the on-field performance. “People were talking about… we need to trade Mark,” Jackson said. “I didn’t forget that, and I know he didn’t forget that.” That line hit harder than any touchdown spike.
Remember when trade speculation swirled around Andrews earlier this year? Some claimed the Ravens should move him to shake things up and focus more on other weapons (looking at you Isaiah Likely). That noise was loud when Andrews started the season slow, with just six catches and no touchdowns through the first four games.
But Jackson and Andrews? They never wavered. The results since speak for themselves.
Andrews has been on a tear, scoring eight touchdowns in the last nine games and reminding everyone why he’s Jackson’s go-to guy. Their connection has been the backbone of Baltimore’s offense since they entered the league together in 2018. For Jackson, Andrews isn’t just a teammate—he’s “that guy.”
