Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh led his Wolverines to the College Football Playoff National Championship in Houston. During the game, he received a crucial boost from his brother, NFL coach John Harbaugh, and former defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald, who was present on the sidelines. Their presence proved to be a source of immense mental strength for Jim Harbaugh and his team.

Now, as John Harbaugh prepares his Baltimore Ravens for their playoff matchup against the Huston Texans, Jim Harbaugh is reciprocating the favor by prioritizing family, drawing inspiration from the positive energy that played a pivotal role in Michigan’s National Championship triumph against the Huskies on January 8.

The NFL wild card games lived up to the hype with thrilling victories, upsets, and record-setting weather conditions. Now, the stage is set for the divisional round matchups. In the AFC, C.J. Stroud’s Houston Texans will face Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, at 4:30 pm, ET, in an anticipated battle of quarterbacks. Adding to the intrigue, Jim Harbaugh is expected to be in Baltimore today for the Ravens’ playoff opener against the Texans with his coach brother John Harbaugh, said NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

The NFL playoffs spotlight is on the Baltimore Ravens as they begin their journey with a home game against the Houston Texans under the leadership of head coach John Harbaugh. With an impressive 13-4 record securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC, this season marks one of John’s prime opportunities to secure a Super Bowl victory. The Ravens have earned a first-round playoff bye and are now preparing to face the Texans, who are currently in great form, led by their standout rookie quarterback, C.J. Stroud.

This playoff matchup promises to be an exciting quarterback duel between Stroud and the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, who has struggled to find success in the playoffs with a record of 1-3. However, with John Harbaugh at the helm and Jim Harbaugh cheering him on, Jackson may deliver a stellar performance and lead the Ravens to their first AFC Championship Game since 2012. While the game itself is exciting, Jim Harbaugh’s interest in joining the pro league like his brother adds another layer to the ongoing suspense!
