Just hours after Jim Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers (13-4-1) clinched a berth in the big game in New Orleans by defeating the Atlanta Falcons in in the NFC Championship Game, John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens (13-6) locked up the other spot by dispatching the New England Patriots.
"I don't know if we had a dream this big. We had a few dreams, we had a few fights. You know, we had a few arguments, just like all brothers," John told reporters during his postgame remarks. "We'll try to stay out of that business. We'll let the two teams duke it out as much as possible."
That two road teams won during the NFL's Championship Weekend is remarkable enough (and last happened in 1997), but to have each of those teams coached by brothers ensures that you'll be hearing a lot about the Harbaugh family for the next two weeks. On Thanksgiving 2011, the Harbaughs made history by becoming the first brothers to face off as head coaches. The Ravens emerged victorious from this first sibling showdown, 16-6.
