Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is truly a lifesaver.
The three-time Pro Bowler reportedly provided some life-saving advice on a Southwest Airlines flight from Baltimore to Phoenix Wednesday morning.

The event that took place was recalled in an X thread.
This from Andrew Springs who was on the flight:
“A woman on my @southwest flight from Baltimore to Phoenix this morning had a mid-flight medical emergency. The doctor and nurse attending to her couldn’t find a strong pulse, her blood pressure was extremely low, and required oxygen to breathe. It was genuinely scary.”
“A man in the aisle seat popped up, “Could it be her blood sugar? I have a diabetic testing kit.” It was @Ravens TE Mark Andrews. Andrews instructed the medical professionals (equal citizen heroes in this story) on using his test kit. Eventually her heart-rate stabilized.”
“Paramedics met the flight as soon as we landed. Andrews deplaned quietly. No fanfare. As he has done his whole career, he stepped up in a huge moment when people needed him most. Watching complete strangers spring into action to help save someone’s life is truly amazing.”
Mark Andrews is a Type 1 diabetic which is why he had the diabetic testing kit.
Fans praised Andrews in the comments and noted that Andrews would not have been on the plane had the Ravens defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game.
One fan even joked,
“Breaking news: Lamar Jackson (very indirectly) saves woman’s life by throwing interception into triple coverage.”
