NFL Week 12 Overreactions
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down NFL week 12 wildest games.
Sports Seriously
It’s bowl season, and that kicks off with the Harbaugh Bowl between the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens on “Monday Night Football.”
Jim Harbaugh has had the Chargers humming in 2024. In his return to the NFL, the elder Harbaugh has helped Justin Herbert and the Bolts start to change the narrative surrounding the team. That much was apparent in the Chargers‘ last primetime appearance when they held off a red-hot Joe Burrow for a win on “Sunday Night Football.”
It’s business as usual for John Harbaugh and the Ravens entering “Monday Night Football.” The Ravens are 7-4, but are 2-2 in their last four games, with division losses to the Browns and Steelers. Still, Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate and the Ravens offense has scored 30 points or more in six games this season – and all six games were, expectedly, victories.
The soaring Ravens offense will provide a challenge for the Los Angeles D. The Chargers have stifled opponents, as they’re ranked the No. 1 scoring defense in the NFL entering Week 12. Jackson heading to L.A. provides a textbook definition of “unstoppable force vs. immovable object” on Monday night.
Thanksgiving dinner bragging rights are on the table for the Harbaugh brothers. USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights and more from the “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Chargers and Ravens below.
