Asked how it feels to play against his brother during his Thursday media availability, John celebrated the opportunity, as it should be a fun, physical matchup between brothers.

“It’s a tough matchup. It’s a very good football team we’re playing this week. [The Chargers are] highly ranked in pretty much every area. [They’re] a winning football team, very physical, very tough [and an] extremely well-coached football team – no question about it. [Jim Harbaugh] is one of the best coaches of this generation, no question – I believe that. Even if he weren’t my brother, I would say the same thing. We have our work cut out for us; we have to travel across the country and play on Monday Night Football.”

Welp, that was the last either brother would be asked about the game, right?

…yeah that’s not how the modern-day narrative-driven NFL works. Fortunately, John had some interesting things to say about coaching against his brother, as they’ve always been competitive.
