Sitting in front of the television all day with a belly full of turkey and potatoes watching football is how America loves to celebrate Thanksgiving. While the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys play every year, there’s a third game that gets rotated around between the rest of the NFL. In 2011, it was our beloved Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers.
This game was hyped up because the head coaches, John and Jim Harbaugh respectively, had led their teams to remarkable seasons (Baltimore finished 12-3, the 49ers finished 13-3). The two seemed destined to run the league for the next decade and create an outer-conference rivalry worth a thousand memories.
