The Baltimore Ravens kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 28-6 win over the Miami Dolphins, and yes, Lamar Jackson was phenomenal, but so too were a lot of other weapons.
In particular, the tight ends for Todd Monken ripped through the Miami defense as Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, and Charlie Kolar all had their lick of the ice cream.
Andrews finished his night with 22 yards and two touchdowns from his two receptions, Likely posted 60 yards from his three catches, and Kolar had 23 yards and a touchdown from his two receptions as the tight end trio had their best collective game of the season.
And don't think Lamar didn't notice.
“Tight ends played a huge game for us,” Jackson said. “All of those guys, Charlie [Kolar], Mark [Andrews], [Isaiah] Likely, man, they do it all block, catch the ball, run sometimes, shout out to those guys, they played a wonderful game.”

With all three tight ends playing their roles to perfection and accounting for three of Lamar's four touchdowns along with a combined 105 yards on the night as they were constant outlets in the passing game, not to mention scoring threats.
Yes, Derrick Henry and his 119 rushing yards and Zay Flowers' 60 receiving yards also did their part, but to have a contribution like the Ravens did from their tight end group will put teams on notice moving forward.
Dealing with Henry and Flowers is nothing new, but now having to contain three tight ends as well, and yes, Andrews and Kolar didn't have big statistical games, but three touchdowns from the pair is a great return.
