While the Ravens took a commanding lead and eventually held on vs. the Cowboys in Week 3, one of their key pieces on offense didn't make much of an impact.
Baltimore, which lost its first two games of the season, was looking to bounce back from its early-season struggles with a win in Dallas. After being blown out by the Saints last week, the Cowboys were also hungry for an opportunity to rebound from a tough loss.
The Ravens held on late for a 28-25 win, but TE Mark Andrews' name wasn't mentioned often.
Here are the details on Andrews' performance in Week 3 vs. the Cowboys and how it fit into his start to the 2024 season.

Mark Andrews stats vs. Cowboys
Andrews did play in Baltimore's Week 3 game vs. Dallas. However, he didn't record a catch and had just one target from QB Lamar Jackson.
It continued a quiet start to the season for Andrews, who had just 14 receiving yards in Week 1 but a solid performance with 51 yards in Week 2. With the Ravens' offense taking a 21-6 lead into halftime though, they looked elsewhere for production.
Baltimore relied on its run game vs. the Cowboys, as Jackson had just 12 completions that went to seven different players. Spreading the ball around looked like it was an offensive game plan for Baltimore, but Andrews didn't fall into that game plan.
TE Isaiah Likely has also been breaking out early this season. With the emergence of Zay Flowers at wide receiver, as well, there's a chance that Andrews won't be the go-to target at tight end this season that he once was.
In the first half vs. Dallas, Likely had five more snaps than Andrews, per NFL Network's Michael F. Florio.
Nelson Agholor led the Ravens with 56 receiving yards against the Cowboys, while tight ends Charlie Kolar and Likely both had one catch.
Andrews' presence in the Ravens' offense is usually significant, so look for him to get more involved moving forward.
