The Baltimore Ravens got off to a tough start in 2025, losing five of their first six games. Their fortunes turned drastically, rattling off a five-game win streak to get back over .500 heading into the Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
After two quarters, the Ravens have fallen slightly behind with a score of 12-7. The offense has felt disjointed, and many of their offensive weapons have failed to get involved, including veteran tight end Mark Andrews. Let’s take a look at his slow start.
What Happened to Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews?
No, Andrews is not injured. Unfortunately for the veteran TE, fourth-year tight end Isaiah Likely has been far more involved in the Ravens offense on Thanksgiving. Through the first two quarters, Likely has been targeted four times, catching three for 81 yards. Meanwhile, Andrews has been targeted twice, catching one pass for six yards.
While wide receiver Zay Flowers has taken on the majority of the target share, Andrews still slots in second behind the young wideout, targeted 46 times in 2025, hauling in 33 receptions for 285 yards and five touchdowns.

While Likely has been targeted more, he committed a costly error, fumbling the ball at the goal line and out of the end zone after a long completion, turning it over to the Bengals.

The Ravens offense has struggled most of the season, ranking 24th in the league in PFSN’s Offense Impact metric with an impact score of 70.7. That puts them behind franchises like the Bengals, Miami Dolphins, and Houston Texans, among others, who have also struggled offensively in 2025.
Interestingly enough, they don’t necessarily have the defense to make up for the poor offensive performances, as that unit ranks 18th in PFSN’s Defense Impact metric with an impact score of 74. What they have achieved is fortunate, given a more manageable schedule over the past five weeks.
It gets much harder down the stretch, though. With two games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, another showdown with the Bengals, and matchups against the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots, it won’t be easy sledding for them to keep the momentum going.
It’s going to start with some halftime adjustments and getting this offense back on track. That includes getting Andrews worked into the game and utilizing all of their offensive weapons. The Ravens have worked hard to get back into playoff contention, and an underwhelming offensive performance contributing to a loss will be a tough pill to swallow in Week 13.
