NFL: Ravens' Harbaugh beats brother's Chargers
Lamar Jackson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and John Harbaugh got the best of his brother once again as the Baltimore Ravens earned a 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday.
Baltimore (8-4) put an end to the Chargers' four-game winning streak and improved Harbaugh to 3-0 lifetime against his brother, Jim, in matchups between the sibling head coaches.
The first two meetings came when Jim Harbaugh coached the San Francisco 49ers, including a 34–31 Ravens victory in Super Bowl 47 in 2013.
Jackson bounced back from a subpar performance in Baltimore's loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers last week to complete 16 of 22 passes for 177 yards with touchdown throws to Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews.
The Ravens also dominated on the ground by piling up 212 rushing yards, including 140 from Derrick Henry on 24 attempts. Justice Hill added a 51-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to help Baltimore close within a half-game of the first-place Steelers in the AFC North.
Los Angeles (7-4) lost for the first time since Oct. 21 despite taking a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter. The Chargers got a 5-yard touchdown run from quarterback Justin Herbert on the opening drive but largely sputtered thereafter, managing just 285 total yards.
Herbert finished 21 of 36 for 218 passing yards, while Ladd McConkey recorded six catches for 83 yards in the loss.
After going down 10-0 on Cameron Dicker's 42-yard field goal, the Ravens responded with a seven-play, 70-yard drive capped by Jackson's 10-yard touchdown on a designed run to get on the board midway through the second quarter.
Jackson later put Baltimore ahead with 24 seconds left before half-time with a deep pass that Bateman corraled in traffic for a 40-yard touchdown. The Ravens took a 14-13 lead into the break after Dicker hit a 52-yard field goal on the final play of the half to pull Los Angeles closer.
After both teams traded field goals in the third quarter, the Ravens pulled away in the fourth. Jackson engineered a 14-play, 70-yard series culminating in Andrews' 6-yard touchdown reception that staked Baltimore to a 23-16 lead with 12:32 remaining. John Harbaugh opted to try for a 2-point conversion, but Jackson's pass in the end zone was broken up.

Hill then put the game away by breaking free for a 51-yard touchdown with 7:24 left to play. The Chargers did get a touchdown in the final minute when former Raven Gus Edwards crossed the goal line on a 1-yard run.
