When a medical emergency occurs mid-flight, one would hope that there is a medical professional on the plane, but we don't usually suspect that a professional football player would be the one to save the day.
It should be noted that Mark Andrews is a type 1 diabetic and as such, is all too familiar with the symptoms of low blood sugar. His on-the-spot assistance could very well have saved that woman's life.
Quoth the Ravens, 'Nevermore.'
Note that even in his own statement, he takes no credit. Is that level of humility even possible?

This writer was informed about this story by weatherman extraordinaire, James Aydelott, who is a recommended follow for those who enjoy dad jokes and decent meteorological information.
Decent humans chimed in from all over X.
From Diabetics ...

Even professional football starters have to save money where they can, right?
See above ... also, have you heard their flight attendants? It can be quite entertaining to fly Southwest.
What can we say about that other than 'BOOMER!'
The rest of the tweets followed the same vein. Andrews is a hero in our eyes and those of the nation, whether he wants to acknowledge it or not.
This writer, while not completely converted into a Ravens fan, is certainly going to root for them when they aren't playing his team.
