Mark Andrews was already dealing with the weight of the Ravens’ playoff exit, but the fallout extended beyond just him. After his critical drop on a two-point conversion against the Buffalo Bills, fans didn’t just take their frustration out on the star tight end-they went after his girlfriend, Elena Yates, too.

Yates, who has a strong social media presence, found her Instagram flooded with hateful comments following the Ravens’ 27-25 loss. The negativity became so overwhelming that she decided to turn off comments on several of her posts, shutting down the noise. But nearly two weeks later, she made her return with a different approach-posting a series of stylish game-day outfits and leaving the comments open.

This time, the reaction couldn’t have been more different. Fans were quick to hype her up, leaving messages like “You’re gorgeous in everything “ and “I’m obsessed, need the links for everything!!” Instead of criticism, her post was met with positivity, proving how quickly the online tide can turn.

The backlash originally stemmed from Andrews’ costly mistakes in the divisional-round game. Along with the dropped conversion, he also fumbled earlier in the fourth quarter, giving Buffalo a short field that led to a crucial touchdown. It was a rare off-night for Andrews, who hadn’t dropped a pass since Week 6 and hadn’t fumbled since 2019. Despite those errors, he still finished with five catches for 61 yards in the game.

After taking time to process the loss, Andrews addressed it with an emotional post on Instagram: “I’m absolutely gutted. I pour every ounce of my being into playing at the highest level possible… Even though the shock and disappointment are unlike anything I’ve felt before, I refuse to let the situation define me.”

His Ravens teammates had his back, with Lamar Jackson shutting down the criticism, saying: “It’s a team effort. We’re not going to put that on Mark.” Head coach John Harbaugh echoed that sentiment, reinforcing that no single play decides a game.

For Yates, this situation wasn’t new-partners of athletes often take heat when things go wrong. But her return to social media with a fresh post and positive reception suggests she’s moving past the negativity, just like Andrews himself.

As the offseason begins, both are likely turning the page. And if Yates’ latest post is any indication, she’s doing it in style.
