Ravens TE helped save a woman's life on an an airplane

“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,” Springs wrote. “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.”

While Andrews has not confirmed the story, we do know that the tight end is a Type 1 diabetic. Many fans learned that earlier this season when the Ravens shared a video that showed Andrews explaining to a team staffer how he has to check his blood sugar every time he comes off the field.

Assuming the inspiring story is accurate, it sounds like Andrews was in the right place at the right time.

Andrews played in the AFC Championship Game after missing several weeks with a serious lower-leg injury. He caught 2 passes for 15 yards in Baltimore’s 17-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
