Ravens TE Mark Andrews sets franchise record for career touchdowns

TAMPA, Fla. – Ravens tight end Mark Andrews stands alone and in record time.

Andrews caught his 42nd career touchdown pass Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, breaking a franchise record he shared with tight end Todd Heap. The 9-yard touchdown brought the Ravens within three points of Tampa Bay.

Andrews' historic touchdown came in his 94th game and seventh season with the Ravens, who drafted him in 2018. Only four tight ends have received more touchdowns in their first seven seasons: Rob Gronkowski (68), Antonio Gates (59), Jimmy Graham (59) and Tony Gonzalez (47). Heap scored 41 touchdowns in his 133 games and 10 years in Baltimore.

Andrews could also pass Heap this season for the second-most receiving yards in franchise history. Andrews entered Monday with 5,043 receiving yards, 449 behind Heap (5,492). Derrick Mason leads all Ravens receivers with 5,777 career yards.

Andrews picked off Heap in the Ravens' 30-23 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 6, scoring on a 13-yard pass from him just before halftime Jackson.

“It feels great,” Andrews said after the game. “When you get something like that, you should give credit to your teammates. I am blessed and lucky to have such a quarterback and teammates surrounding me. We just want to keep going, be patient and good things will happen. It was a team win and everyone played really, really well.”
