The social-media abuse at the doorstep of Mark Andrews’ girlfriend, Elena Yates, got so bad after the Baltimore Ravens’ Divisional playoff loss that she had to not allow any comments on her Instagram page.
The Ravens’ star was the focal point of much of the criticism surrounding the loss to the Bills on Sunday night.
The tight end dropped a critical first-half pass in a close game and lost a fumble in the fourth quarter.
Then came what might be the season-defining play for Baltimore, where Andrews’ dropped what would have been a game-tying two point conversion with under two minutes to go in the game.
Yates and Andrews have been dating since the summer of 2023 with her referring to Andrews as her ‘best friend’ and as a ‘wonderful person’ on her social media.
The decision to ban comments on her Instagram was made quickly after the conclusion of the Ravens season.

Yates’ most recent social media posts are a brand deal with makeup company Clarins as well as a few pictures from the Ravens’ Wild Card victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Andrews and Yates also spent the Ravens’ bye week on a romantic vacation to New York City, appearing to stay at the famed Plaza Hotel, last month.
The Bills are the ones advancing to the AFC Championship Game to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Ravens were in that spot a year ago, falling to Patrick Mahomes and his team two weeks before Kansas City repeated as Super Bowl champions.
Despite having one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, the Ravens’ streak without a Super Bowl appearance continues now to over a dozen years.
And a lot of the current blame has fallen to Andrews, and by association, Yates.
