\"\u201cDon't(Image via Elena Yates IG\/elenayates: Mark Andrews and Elena Yates) That one catch that mattered the most. That one drop in the AFC Divisional Round playoff against the Buffalo Bills. That one two-point conversion pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson\u2013deeply wounded the Baltimore Ravens fans. So much so that when tight end Mark Andrews\u2019 girlfriend, Elena Yates, shared a cute, lovey-dovey moment on TikTok, fans linked it to the costly dropped catch! One brutally honest fan commented, \u201cGlad he didn\u2019t drop her like the ball in the Buffalo game,\u201d while another, more hopeful, remarked, \u201cWell he\u2019s been working on his hands this offseason.\u201d A third fan said, \u201cDon’t fumble Mark!!!!!!\u201d But what exactly was the adorable moment? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n

Mark Andrews picks up his girlfriend Elena Yates on his forearms, perhaps showing he won\u2019t drop any catches from Lamar Jackson<\/p>\n

On September 3, MLFootball shared a cute, heartwarming video of Ravens TE Mark Andrews and his girlfriend, Elena Yates. The video appeared to be from their house. Mark was wearing a black T-shirt with gray shorts and white shoes. Elena wore a navy blue sleep shorts set. She captioned the TikTok video: \u201cseeing if my NFL boyfriend can lift me up\u2026\u201d Andrews is 6-foot-5, making the height difference significant. Even in two-inch heels, Elena reached or almost touched Andrews\u2019 shoulder! At first, Andrews tried to pick her up on his forearms. But he couldn\u2019t. Elena quickly jumped away. She then supposedly showed Mark how to lift her by trying to lift him! It was a funny moment! After a laugh, she turned back around and was successfully lifted by her boyfriend. In the second attempt, Mark finally lifted her! His innocent face lit up with a smile on knowing that! Elena also laughed, likely asking, \u201cWhy is this a struggle for you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans react to three-time Pro Bowler Mark Andrews lifting his girlfriend on his lower arms, with one commenting, \u201cDon\u2019t fumble Mark\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon watching the failed first attempt and linking it to the dropped catch during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills game, one fan warned, \u201cDon\u2019t fumble Mark!!!!!!\u201d After a successful second attempt at lifting Elena, another fan happily wrote, \u201cThat\u2019s my tight end.\u201d\"NFL-MARK-2025\"<\/p>\n

Other fans continued to chime in, with one reminding Andrews, \u201cdropped just like that ball in the end zone.\u201d A third fan wanted the tight end to, \u201cMaybe he should focus on catching the ball.\u201d A fourth fan commented, \u201cTikTok is going to be the downfall of the human race.\u201dAlso Read: NFL legend and Las Vegas Raiders part-owner Tom Brady supposedly passed over Shedeur Sanders for being \u201cvery self-promotional\u201d | NFL News – The Times of India<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Image via Elena Yates IG\/elenayates: Mark Andrews and Elena Yates) That one catch that mattered the most.
