One of the main reasons that John Harbaugh is called a Super Bowl champion as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens is the fact that he had quarterback Joe Flacco under center to help lead his team to a title.
Unfortunately for Flacco, his NFL career never hit the same high that it did while he was with the Ravens, as he’s bounced around the league quite a bit over the last five years or so.
After stints with the Denver Broncos and New York Jets, Flacco is currently the starting quarterback for the division-rival Cleveland Browns, as the result of Deshaun Watson going down for the season and the team having somewhat of a revolving door at quarterback.
With the Browns being bitter rivals of the Ravens, Harbaugh was asked what it was like to see his old quarterback wearing a Cleveland jersey while taking on the Los Angeles Rams over the weekend.
Harbaugh openly admitted that he was rooting against Flacco on Sunday, via Sarah Ellison of Ravens Vault.
No hard feelings, Joe Flacco.

With the Browns suffering consecutive losses to the Broncos and Rams, the Ravens are starting to separate themselves from the pack in the AFC North division, with the team sporting an impressive 9-3 record and first-place standing in the division.
That said, of course, Harbaugh was rooting against Flacco on Sunday, as he doesn’t want his old quarterback to help the Browns close the gap in the division standings, even though it looks like Baltimore will ultimately win the division title at this point.
