Best games: 2011 AFC Championship: Patriots 23, Ravens 20; 2014 div. round: Patriots 35, Ravens 31
If there’s one AFC coach that’s consistently managed to give the hoodie fits in the playoffs, it’s Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, who has managed to win two playoff games against Bill Belichick’s Patriots. Harbaugh, Baltimore’s coach since 2008, won his first playoff game against Belichick in 2009. And while they were unable to duplicate their regular season success during the postseason, Lamar Jackson’s success against Belichick’s defense in Baltimore’s regular season stomping of New England last season appeared to foreshadow a possible changing of the guard as it relates to the balance of power in the AFC moving forward.
