The Harbaugh Bowl: Revisiting Super Bowl XLVII

With Jim Harbaugh back in the NFL, one of the most exciting matchups next season will be when he faces his brother as the Chargers will host the Ravens at SoFi Stadium.

John was asked about the faceoff between the two and said, “My brother Jim and I] are looking forward to all of it. I’m just very happy for him. [I’m] proud of him [and] excited for him.”

Ahead of their matchup next season, let’s revisit the last time Jim and John Harbaugh faced each other: Super Bowl XLVII.

The Ravens faced the San Francisco 49ers at the Superdome in 2013. Super Bowl 47 was memorable for a myriad of reasons. 

The halftime show featured an iconic performance from Beyonce. There was a power outage that put America’s biggest sporting event on hold for over thirty minutes. And it was the first time in Super Bowl history that brothers coached against each other. 

Super Bowl 47 earned two notable nicknames, the “Blackout Bowl” and the “Harbaugh Bowl.”

The Ravens, led by quarterback Joe Flacco at the time, opened with a strong first half with a 21-6 lead by halftime. The 49ers responded in the second half with 17 unanswered points. San Francisco trailed 34-29 at the two-minute warning, but a turnover on downs cost them the game. 

The Ravens won by the score of 34-31.

Super Bowl 47 is John’s only Super Bowl victory and Jim’s only Super Bowl appearance. 

Will the Chargers be the team to get Jim another shot at winning a ring?
