With the Baltimore Ravens off in Week 13, head coach John Harbaugh took some time over the past week to sit back and watch multiple games from across the NFL.
Harbaugh kept a close eye on the Los Angeles Rams’ home matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Not only was Harbaugh doing some early scouting homework on Baltimore’s next opponent in the Rams, but he also tuned in to the contest to watch Joe Flacco’s debut with the Browns.
Harbaugh called on Flacco to lead Baltimore’s offense for 11 seasons, but on Sunday, he was rooting against his former quarterback — and for good reason.
"I was rooting against Joe and the Browns; that's what we did," Harbaugh said during a press conference on Monday. "I think Joe's cool. … I couldn't root for him yesterday."
Flacco, who signed with the Browns last month, anchored Cleveland’s offense against the Rams. He threw for 254 passing yards and two touchdowns in the contest, but in the end, the Rams came away with a 36-19 win.
The Browns dropped to 2.0 games back of the Ravens in the AFC North standings following their loss to the Rams. Baltimore currently holds the No. 2 seed in the AFC, while Cleveland is in possession of the No. 6 seed.
