Monday night was entertaining for Oklahoma fans who watched Monday Night Football. [autotag]Baker Mayfield[/autotag], Sterling Sheperd, [autotag]Mark Andrews[/autotag], and [autotag]Kyler Murray[/autotag] highlighted the slate.
In Arizona, Murray helped lead the Cardinals to a win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Mayfield and the Buccaneers squad took on Mark and his Ravens squad in Tampa. Andrews got the best of Mayfield as the Ravens triumphed 41-31 in large part to a record-breaking night for Andrews.
Andrews, who shined as a unanimous All-American and the Mackey Award winner at Oklahoma for the nation’s best tight end, has had a terrific pro career. He was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 and has been named a Pro Bowler thrice. On Monday night, he reeled in four catches for 41 yards. Two of his four catches were touchdowns, with the first touchdown cementing him atop the Ravens history books.

Andrews passed Todd Heap for the most touchdown receptions in Baltimore Ravens history.
“Incredibly grateful,” Andrews said on breaking the record. “Getting drafted to this incredible organization, I’ve been blessed with incredible teammates, obviously No. 8 (Lamar Jackson) and having that connection. … You got to look back at the guys like Todd Heap and the guys that have done it before you and just be grateful that I’m in this situation.”
Andrews has now hauled in three touchdowns in two games after murmurs that he can no longer be an integral part of the Ravens’ offense. The Ravens look like one of the NFL’s best offenses, and Andrews’ resurgence makes them even more challenging to defend.
