Both John and Him Harbaugh are fond of asking the question-as-credo, “Who’s got it better than us?” It’s part of an overall philosophy they got from their father Jack, and in the case of the John Harbaugh-led Baltimore Ravens, the answer is, “Very few NFL teams.”
At least when it comes to the regular season.
Since Harbaugh became Baltimore’s head coach in 2008, the Ravens have had exactly two losing seasons, and their 172-104 regular-season record, and .623 winning percentage, are bested by only the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, and Pittsburgh Steelers. This has long been known as one of the most consistent franchises in sports, and unlike some franchises in that boat, the Ravens don’t use that consistency as something to hold onto when they should be reaching for more.
