‘We Went To Pittsburgh And Didn’t Win, I Remember That’: Harbaugh Not In Mood To Reflect On 2008 Rookie HC-QB Success As He Prepares To Face Houston’s Rookie Duo

The Houston Texans traded up in the first round to get their quarterback of the future. He looked like the real deal—enough that they were able to get three first-round picks out of him after dealing him and his dozens of civil lawsuits for sexual misconduct to the Cleveland Browns.

Two years later, they have a rookie head coach in DeMeco Ryans, a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud, and a playoff victory. The last team to have all three is the team that will be hosting the Texans this weekend, the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens. Head coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Joe Flacco, their first year on the job in 2008, gave the league quite a run right out of the gate.
