"On the fifth play of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, Andrews caught an 11-yard pass to break the franchise record for career receiving yards. The longtime favorite for quarterback Lamar Jackson, Andrews entered the game needing 4 yards to reach the milestone and the catch pushed him to 5,785 for his career. Wide receiver Derrick Mason had held the Ravens' receiving record for 15 years. He totaled 5,777 yards for Baltimore from 2005 to 2010."
"With the record, Andrews became the fifth tight end to lead a franchise in receiving yards. The others are: Ozzie Newsome (Browns), Antonio Gates (Chargers), Travis Kelce (Chiefs) and Jason Witten (Cowboys). In 2018, then-general manager Newsome selected Andrews in the third round in what became his final draft. The Ravens selected another tight end ( Hayden Hurst) in the first round, but Andrews became a go-to target midway through his rookie season when Jackson became Baltimore's starting quarterback."

Andrews became the fifth tight end to lead a franchise in receiving yards, joining Ozzie Newsome, Antonio Gates, Travis Kelce and Jason Witten.
