In Super Bowl XLVII in February 2013, John Harbaugh of the Ravens and Jim Harbaugh of the Chargers squared off, with John Harbaugh’s team winning 34–31. Since then, Jim Harbaugh and his former team, the Michigan Wolverines, have gone on to win the 2023–2024 national title, setting up what may turn out to be one of the greatest games of the 2024 NFL season coming autumn—the date of which was just disclosed.
This season, the Chargers have been in the spotlight a lot, with Jim Harbaugh’s group being linked to a potential long-term home for an undrafted free agent that few anticipated. The Chargers organisation is also grieving the passing of AJ Smith, the team’s all-time winningest general manager.
With the date finally revealed, fans have taken to the airwaves to discuss what could happen when the two football coaching icons finally meet again on the professional football gridiron.
Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh Game Set
The Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh matchup is set for Week 12 on Monday Night Football at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif., giving Jim Harbaugh a potential leg up in winning the rubber match between he and his brother.
The matchup will be one of a Ravens team that went to the AFC Conference Championship Game last season and a Chargers team that struggled mightily even with Justin Herbert at the controls of its offensive engine.
The Harbaugh brothers’ careers are expected to be hotly debated leading up to the game.
Chargers, Ravens Fans React to 2024 ‘Harbaugh Bowl’ Matchup
Fans and media outlets reacted to the long-awaited news on X with emojis and excitement.
“Oh this one is (fire),” one page wrote with four explosion emojis at the end of their message.
“Ahhhhhh,” another fan said simply in excitement.
Another fans shared emoji faces with stars in their eyes, perhaps in reference to the star power that will be on display when the two legendary brothers finally meet.
The reactions came amid talk of the Chargers’ biggest question mark: who will become the team’s WR1 for Herbert this season, with Quentin Johnston the likely winner of that competition, although he still has a long way to go to reach the top Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers’ depth chart.
