To cap off an exciting Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season, John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens defeated his younger brother, Jim Harbaugh, and the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 on “Monday Night Football.”
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson added to his MVP-caliber season, completing 16-of-22 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns while adding another 15 yards and a score on the ground.
On the other hand, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert didn’t quite put up the same numbers on the box score, completing 21-of-36 passes for 218 yards to go along with 29 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Following the game, the two Harbaugh brothers met midfield for a quick greeting before parting ways. In a postgame press conference, John Harbaugh revealed what he told his little brother during that moment.
“I just told him you’re a great coach, and you have a great team,” John Harbaugh said. “And I love you. And he said, ‘I love you and congratulations.’ It was good, yeah.”
With the win, John Harbaugh and Baltimore move to 8-4 on the season, good for second place in the AFC North, right behind the 8-3 Pittsburgh Steelers. They will get a matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.
Jim Harbaugh has now seen his Chargers team fall to 7-4, with their four-game winning streak coming to an end. Even with the loss, Los Angeles still holds a playoff spot for the time being. It will get the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
