Andrews’ record-breaking score came in vintage fashion, showcasing the chemistry and trust that has made him Lamar Jackson’s favorite target since their rookie seasons. The touchdown marked 48 (e.g., his eighth touchdown of the season, eighth touchdown in the past nine games, etc.), another chapter in a resurgent 2024 campaign for the three-time Pro Bowler.
Mark Andrews is the Ravens all-time leading TD scorer with 48
For Ravens fans, this milestone is particularly sweet considering the adversity Andrews has overcome to reach it. After a severe injury last season, a car accident in August, and a minor training camp injury, Andrews opened the season with just six catches for 65 yards and no touchdowns through four games. That uncharacteristic drought is now a distant memory.
Since returning to full health, Andrews has been on a tear, catching eight touchdowns in Baltimore’s last nine games and proving why he’s been the team’s most reliable pass-catcher since 2018. Head coach John Harbaugh summed it up best earlier this week: “Mark Andrews is just one of a kind... He’s all ball, all the time.”
Breaking Jamal Lewis’ long-standing record is a testament to Andrews’ consistency and competitiveness. Lewis set the bar during his time as the centerpiece of Baltimore’s offense, rushing his way into franchise history. For Andrews, a tight end, to surpass that record in a run-first scheme underscores how special he truly is.
Andrews and Lamar Jackson’s connection is the foundation of this success. The duo’s trust has been unshakeable from the start, as Jackson recalled earlier this week:
“Going back to Chargers , I threw a line route between the safety and the backer, and Mark caught it and just hauled tail. After that, it was like, ‘Yes, that’s my guy right there.’”
Andrews has been “that guy” ever since, dominating in contested catch situations and consistently coming through in the red zone. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken also praised Andrews’ elite competitiveness, saying, “Football is important to him... He’s a top, top-level competitor – one of the top competitors I’ve ever been around.”
Even with this milestone in the books, Andrews shows no signs of slowing down. With three games remaining in the regular season and the Ravens eyeing a deep playoff run, there’s no telling how far he’ll extend this record.
For now, though, Ravens fans can celebrate their All-Pro tight end reaching the pinnacle of franchise greatness. Mark Andrews isn’t just breaking records—he’s building a legacy.
