John Harbaugh has found a ton of success in his role as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens for the past 17 years. He has helped the team win a Super Bowl ring and has accumulated 13 playoff wins so far entering his Divisional round matchup against the Buffalo Bills this year.
If Harbaugh wants to help the Ravens get back to the AFC championship game like they did last year, he will need to win a tough matchup on the road. The Bills have yet to lose a home game during the entire 2024 NFL season so far, but Harbaugh has a knack for overcoming away games in the postseason.
Ahead of this highly-anticipated game between two of the best AFC teams featuring the two favorites to win the NFL MVP award, Adam Schefter posted an interesting trend about John Harbuagh's career records. His eight road wins in the playoffs are the most by any head coach in NFL history, so this could give the Ravens additional confidence this week.

"We thrive in chaos"
Going on the road for any game in the NFL Playoffs is always a challenge for the away team, including this year, where home teams are 6-2 ahead of the Sunday slate of games for the Divisional round. John Harbaugh's success as a road team in the playoffs could be why his Ravens are currently the favorites to advance to the AFC championship game against the Chiefs, despite having a worse overall record and having to travel to Buffalo to face the surging Bills.
John Harbaugh's record vs Bills
During his time as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, John Harbaugh has compiled a solid 5-3 overall record when facing off against the Buffalo Bills. His most recent victory came against them during the 2024 NFL season with a 35-10 blowout. This could give them a mental edge when they play again during the Divisional round this year.
On the other hand, the Bills have a potential advantage by being undefeated on their home field this year, considering the game will be played in Buffalo. Despite Harbaugh having the all-time record of eight road playoff wins, that didn't help him the last time he traveled there for a postseason game, losing 17-3 back in 2021.
