If you want a textbook example of the Harbaugh family strain of football, look no further than the Baltimore Ravens' 34-10 win over the Houston Texans in the AFC divisional round Saturday afternoon.

The Ravens dominated the Texans by doing what they do best: running all over Houston (by a yardage margin of 229-38), getting a monster performance by quarterback Lamar Jackson, and controlling the line of scrimmage.

Securing Baltimore's first trip to the AFC championship since 2012, it was the kind of performance that could make coach John Harbaugh break into a happy dance.

Which, of course, he did.

The dance drew the attention of the NFL world, including ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Fans laughed after a top-notch coaching performance, which included Harbaugh challenging a play with a 31-10 lead.

The verdict was unanimous: Harbaugh's moves, even captured only in a photo, were something else.

Some alluded to Harbaugh's relatively advanced age of 61, far past the locker room-breakdancing age for most Americans.

Even fans of other team's couldn't dispute Harbaugh's cool.
