Ravens' Mark Andrews has perfect response to potentially breaking franchise record
The Baltimore Ravens' season is on the line against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10, with John Harbaugh's team in dire need to string wins together for an unlikely playoff push.
It is also a big game for tight end Mark Andrews, who is only 18 yards away from breaking the franchise record for receiving yards, which is currently held by Derrick Mason with 5,777 yards.
In what is no doubt a big milestone for Andrews and the organization, the All-Pro could be forgiven for thinking a little about himself in the lead-up to Baltimore's game in Minnesota.
But in true Andrews fashion, he's all about the team.
“No, nothing's been said and nothing needs to be said,” Andrews said. “Obviously, this is a very important game for this organization, and we need to win this game. That's what's most important. It's kind of just a cherry on top [the record]. I've been able to be a part of an amazing organization, amazing ride. That is by far not the most important thing that I want to have achieved within this organization.”

Andrews close to being franchise legend
Just eight years into his career, Andrews, after Week 10, could have two franchise records all to himself.
Already with the most receiving touchdowns in Ravens history with 55, for Andrews to then get 18 receiving yards to own that record outright as well would put him in rare air and solidify his status as one of the best players to pull on a Ravens jersey.
Of course, as Andrews said, his record isn't his focus on Sunday; it is beating the Vikings to keep the Ravens' playoff hopes alive, but he wouldn't be human if it didn't creep into his mind at some point during the game.
But still, getting the record and not winning the game is nightmare fuel, so in an ideal world, the Ravens beat the Vikings, and Andrews gets his record.
However, as we know, the football gods have a cruel sense of humor.
A big game awaits.
Bo Nix Joins Forces with MrBeast and WaterAid for #TeamWater Campaign to Raise $40 Million for Clean Water Access
In an inspiring new initiative that has caught the attention of fans and philanthropists worldwide, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has teamed up with YouTube sensation MrBeast and the global charity WaterAid for the groundbreaking #TeamWater campaign. The mission: to raise a staggering $40 million to provide clean and safe drinking water to the millions of people who still lack access to this basic necessity.
This powerful partnership aims to shine a spotlight on the global water crisis, with Nix, MrBeast, and WaterAid working together to raise awareness and drive meaningful change. According to recent reports, over 2 billion people around the world still do not have reliable access to clean water, and this campaign seeks to bring a solution to that problem by funding sustainable water projects in regions most affected.
"I’ve always believed that athletes have a responsibility to use their platform for something greater than the game," said Nix in a statement. "When MrBeast reached out to me about teaming up with WaterAid, I couldn’t say no. Providing clean water to those who need it most is something that transcends everything else. It's about humanity, it’s about helping people, and it’s about leaving a positive mark on the world."
The collaboration is not just about raising funds—it’s about making a real, lasting impact. WaterAid, a leading international charity focused on providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to the world’s most vulnerable communities, will manage the deployment of these funds to ensure that they reach the people who need them the most. The $40 million goal will go towards building wells, water treatment facilities, and sanitation systems that can provide long-term benefits to millions of people, especially in parts of Africa, Asia, and South America.
MrBeast, known for his viral charity stunts and large-scale philanthropic efforts, echoed Nix's sentiments, expressing his excitement to partner with a star like Bo Nix for such an important cause. "This is what it’s all about," said MrBeast. "Using our platforms to make a real difference in the world. I’ve seen the power of the #TeamWater campaign and how we’ve been able to inspire millions of people to join in, but having Bo on board is going to take this to another level. Together, we can do something incredible."
The #TeamWater campaign has already begun to generate significant buzz across social media, with fans and supporters rallying behind the cause. The campaign's viral content, which includes powerful videos featuring Bo Nix, MrBeast, and WaterAid staff on the ground in affected areas, has been designed to capture the urgency of the water crisis while inspiring people to take action.
"We’re hoping to create a movement where everyone feels empowered to contribute, whether it’s a dollar, a share on social media, or simply spreading the word about the importance of clean water," said Nix. "This isn’t just about raising money; it’s about creating a ripple effect of change."
To kick off the campaign, Nix and MrBeast have committed to matching the first $5 million in donations. The two have also pledged to visit communities that have directly benefited from WaterAid’s projects, offering fans an inside look at the life-changing impact of their contributions.
The collaboration between Bo Nix, MrBeast, and WaterAid is just the beginning. As part of the long-term goal, the campaign will continue to engage with supporters, celebrities, and organizations worldwide to create lasting change. With the help of fans, the partners hope to exceed their ambitious $40 million target, ensuring that more people have access to safe water for years to come.
In a world that often feels divided, initiatives like #TeamWater remind us of the power of collective action, proving that when people come together for a common cause, anything is possible. For Nix, this isn’t just about football or social media—it’s about making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
