Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh: New NFL Hire Means Brothers Showdown for Ravens and Chargers on Schedule

Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh: New Hire Means Brothers Showdown for Baltimore Ravens and Chargers on 2024 NFL Schedule

John Harbaugh is one win away from another Super Bowl and locked in with the Baltimore Ravens.

Jim Harbaugh just made one more that ends his successful time at Michigan as he's now locked in to be the next head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.

And on the NFL schedule for 2024? The brothers will lock horns.

Yes, this is one the TV networks will surely circle on their calendars as John Harbaugh and the Ravens are scheduled to travel to L.A.'s SoFi Stadium to face the Chargers. ... at a date to be determined in the spring.

That game would've been compelling enough. But now?

This will mark a rematch of sorts as this will not be the first time Jim and John have squared off. They faced one another in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans - with of course John's Ravens winning 34-31.

This week, the Ravens focus is on the AFC title game at home, Sunday against the Chiefs. But eventually? John will once again review what it's like preparing for games against a brother's team.

"Those are always challenging games, because he’s such a great coach. His teams are always ready to roll. They always are," John recently said. "They’re always well coached. Always fundamentally sound. They always play super hard. They’re always connected emotionally. I think he’s the best coach in football.''
