Football fans are furious and losing their minds after a bizarre ending to the Baltimore Ravens-Buffalo Bills Divisional Round game that featured a brutal mistake by Mark Andrews.
Trailing by eight points with 1:33 to go, Lamar Jackson found Isaiah Likely in the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown. But on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt, Mark Andrews put the cherry on top of a bad day by dropping a gimme of a pass from Jackson:
The two-point conversion is no good 😳

On the Ravens’ previous possession, Andrews coughed up the fumble in Buffalo territory that stalled a promising drive with the Ravens down five:

So as you could guess, disgruntled fans are suggesting that Andrews mistakes were all part of a script, and that the game was rigged.

Andrews caught five passes for 61 yards in the contest, but folks are only going to remember his two gut-wrenching miscues that proved costly.
Mark Andrews Can’t Take All The Blame
It’s easy to point the finger at Andrews, but the Ravens lost this game as a team. Their stingy defense allowed 147 rushing yards and three touchdowns, not to mention Jackson’s careless first quarter interception or lost fumble that led to Buffalo’s second touchdown of the game.
