“We Win Together, We Lose Together”—Lamar Jackson Stands by Mark Andrews After Devastating Ravens Playoff Loss
In the wake of the Baltimore Ravens’ heartbreaking 27-25 playoff defeat to the Buffalo Bills, Lamar Jackson refused to let tight end Mark Andrews take the blame for the team’s crushing end to their Super Bowl dreams. Despite Andrews’ two critical fourth-quarter mistakes—an untimely fumble and a dropped two-point conversion that could have sent the game to overtime—Jackson was quick to defend his teammate and spread the responsibility across the entire team.
“We’re a team,” Jackson said somberly in the postgame press conference. “It’s not his fault. We’re not gonna put that on Mark.”
It was a game filled with missed opportunities and costly errors, and Jackson himself wasn’t immune. The star quarterback had his own demons to face, with two turnovers—an early interception and a fumble—that derailed Baltimore’s momentum and put them in a hole they ultimately couldn’t climb out of. Frustration was etched across his face as he addressed the media, acknowledging his mistakes with raw honesty.
“Tonight—the turnovers. We can’t have that [expletive],” Jackson said, his voice heavy with disappointment. “That’s why we lost the game… hold on to the [expletive] ball. Sorry for my language.”

Jackson, however, nearly led the Ravens to an improbable comeback, orchestrating a brilliant 88-yard touchdown drive in the game’s dying moments. With just over a minute left, the stage was set for Baltimore to tie things up and keep their championship hopes alive. But fate had other plans. Andrews, one of Jackson’s most trusted targets, couldn’t hold onto the two-point conversion attempt, and just like that, the Ravens’ season was over.
The bitter taste of defeat lingered in the air as Jackson walked off the field, his eyes reflecting the weight of another missed opportunity. Yet, in the face of heartbreak, he stood tall for his team. No excuses, no finger-pointing—just the painful reality of falling short.
For Baltimore, it’s another season of “what-ifs,” another chapter in their ongoing search for glory. And for Jackson, it’s another reminder that the journey to greatness is paved with both triumph an
d heartbreak.
