ExtremeRavens Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh was evaluated in the medical tent before kickoff Sunday at Denver and then briefly headed to the locker room because of an illness. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter took over until Harbaugh returned midway through the first quarter with the Chargers ahead 3-0. More than 1,600 miles away in Baltimore, Ravens coach John Harbaugh was informed of the situation and was pulled away from his postgame news conference following his team’s 30-23 win over the Washington Commanders at M&T Bank Stadium. #Ravens HC John Harbaugh was pulled out of his press conference.

Just to let you know, Jim Harbaugh just went into the medical tent at his game,” Ravens senior vice president of communications Chad Steele announced next to the podium after John Harbaugh finished answering a third question. “We want [John] to be able to make a call and find out what’s going on. I apologize about that.” Although his younger brother returned to the sideline in Denver, John Harbaugh did not return to the podium. Jim Harbaugh, 60, is coaching his sixth game with the Chargers after being hired this offseason following a successful stint as the coach at his alma mater, Michigan. Last season, the Wolverines went undefeated and won the College Football Playoff national championship. The Harbaugh brothers are set to meet later this season when the Ravens face the Chargers on Nov. 25 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. That “Monday Night Football” game will be the third meeting between the two, who became the first pair of brothers to face off as opposing coaches in an NFL game in 2011 when John’s Ravens beat Jim’s San Francisco 49ers, 16-6, on Thanksgiving night at M&T Bank Stadium. With a fourth straight win Sunday after an 0-2 start, the Ravens are seeking their first trip back to the Super Bowl since the brothers coached against each other in Super Bowl 47 in February 2013.
