Jim Harbaugh Reveals Message He Sent to John Before Chargers vs. Ravens
By Jovan Alford
The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off a hard-fought win last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Los Angeles has won four consecutive games and is hunting for a playoff spot in the AFC.
Jim Harbaugh has done an outstanding job turning the Chargers’ franchise around, which was on the verge of being a laughingstock last season around this time last year.
That said, the Chargers have a tough matchup this week against the Baltimore Ravens, who lost on the road to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This Week 12 game should be an exciting matchup in primetime as the Harbaugh Bowl will be in full swing.
The last time the two brothers coached each other was in Super Bowl XLVII during the 2012 season. The Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 34-31. With that in mind, you have to believe that Jim Harbaugh wants to get a win over his brother, John, even if it's not on the same level as a Super Bowl.
When speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the Chargers head coach said he exchanged text messages with his brother this week.
“I wished him a good week. He wished me a good week,” Harbaugh said (h/t Daniel Popper of The Athletic). “And now we’re focusing on the game.”

The Chargers have played well against the AFC North this season, getting two wins over the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals. The only team they lost to was the Steelers in Week 3 (20-10).
Baltimore offers a different challenge than Cincinnati as they have a two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson and an Offensive Player of the Year candidate in Derrick Henry. Therefore, it will be up to Jim Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to devise a good game plan to get a huge win.
