John and Jim Harbaugh's parents to skip Ravens vs Chargers clash

In 2023, Jason and Travis Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, was faced with a tough situation. At the Super Bowl, her two sons were facing off against each other, and no matter which team won - the Philadelphia Eagles or the Kansas City Chiefs - she would lose in both cases.

Jim and John Harbaugh's parents are in a similar situation, although the stakes are much lower. The Los Angeles Chargers, with Jim as the HC, will be facing off against the Baltimore Ravens, with John as their HC, in their first NFL game since Jim left the San Francisco 49ers to coach the Michigan college football team.

However, their parents, Jackie and Jack will not watch one of their sons' team lose. Instead of attending the clash, the "HarBowl," they will be celebrating their 63rd anniversary with their daughter, Joani Harbaugh, her husband and two children in Florida.

As reported by senior NFL Insider, Adam Schefter, the two met back in 1957 in a biology class and tied the knot four years later.

The Harbaugh brothers last faced off against each other in 2013, when the Ravens won over the Niners during the Super Bowl XLVII. The current record is 2-0, with Jim yet to win a game against his brother.

Peyton Manning outlines difficult situation of Jim and John Harbaugh's parents

While speaking during his ESPN show "The Breakdown with Peyton and Belichick," the former Colts QB said that his parents - Archie and Olivia Manning - did not look forward to their clashes.

"It's tough on the siblings and the parents, though," Peyton said on the show. "It's not the most enjoyable game. My dad said it was one of the more miserable games watching the Colts play the Giants. So I'm sure the Harbaugh parents felt that way. You know who you cheering for on this play? It puts the parents in a tough spot."

He said the Harbaugh parents would also find it difficult to cheer for one of their children. If they cheered for a Ravens touchdown, it would mean they're celebrating the Chargers' trailing or cutting down their lead.

As the two Harbaugh's gear up for the HarBowl, will Jim finally get a win over his brother?
