Bills fans raise over $80K for diabetes research to support Ravens player who dropped crucial pass

Both Jackson and head coach John Harbaugh defended the tight end in interviews following the loss. Jackson reminded reporters that he was the cause of two turnovers in the first half and added that Andrews had been “battling all season.”

Harbaugh described Andrews as a tough, high-character person, who he was confident would handle the scrutiny well. The coach added that he was proud of Andrews the same way he was of every player.

“There’s nobody that has more heart, and cares more, and fights more than Mark,” Harbaugh said. “We wouldn’t be here without Mark Andrews.”

But Ravens fans expressed their anger anyway, flooding Andrews’ Instagram account with resentful comments. His last post was for National Diabetes Awareness Month in November, where Andrews discussed the continuous glucose monitoring system he uses to treat his Type 1 diabetes.

People called for his contract to be canceled in the comment section, with some calling him a “disappointment” and others implying they’d physically assault Andrews if they saw him. There were also supportive fans in the comments, encouraging Andrews to keep his head up.
