Sorry, Baltimore, the Pittsburgh Steelers saved the Ravens a plane seat next to them on the flight to Cabo.
The two AFC North rivals now share a similar fate on the couch, as the Buffalo Bills play the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship—all thanks to Ravens TE Mark Andrews.
Andrews fumbled in the fourth quarter of game with a little over eight minutes remaining. However, the biggest blunder came on a critical two-point conversion to tie the game with less than two minutes remaining, Andrews dropped a wide-open pass from QB Lamar Jackson that would have tied the game 28-28, but the Ravens ultimately had to settle for a 28-26 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional playoff game.
MARK ANDREWS WITH THE BIGGEST CHOKE IN NFL HISTORY!!!!!!!!

Andrews had also cost his team the game—and his team’s playoff aspirations—on a similar two-point conversion attempt back in 2021’s Week 13 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On December 5, 2021, Jackson had led an impressive drive that resulted in a TD pass to Sammy Watkins that would have seemingly tied the game 20-20, pending a successful PAT.
Instead, Ravens HC John Harbaugh made the call to try and win the game with a two-point conversion attempt—one that would have worked if not for Andrews’ inability to catch critical two-yard passes.
If I had a nickel for every time Mark Andrews didn’t come up with a crucial two-point conversion at the end of a game, I’d have two nickels. pic.twitter.com/oRTxcw595z
