Not many defenses have had much of an answer for the Baltimore Ravens’ dynamic quarterback-tight end duo of Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews.

Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz had a front-row seat to watch Jackson and Andrews shine in Week 4. Jackson targeted Andrews a total of five times in the contest, and the three-time Pro Bowler hauled in five receptions for 80 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns.

For Schwartz, Jackson’s chemistry with Andrews is simply unmatched.

"He’s [Mark Andrews] really good at uncovering when the quarterback’s scrambling," Schwartz said ahead of Week 10. "The quarterback has confidence in him, and they seem to really have some sort of mental telepathy.

"They always seem to be moving in the same direction when the quarterback scrambles. So he’s a big target, he’s got really good hands, and he’s just really instinctive to try to break open and make himself friendly to the quarterback."

Andrews sure is looking to continue to have his way against the Browns in Week 10. Overall, the veteran tight end has tallied an astounding nine receiving touchdowns in 11 career games played against Cleveland.

The Ravens are eyeing an 8-2 start for the first time in four seasons.
