The misery of NFL Week 12 for the San Francisco 49ers ends tonight with a bit of nostalgia. The Baltimore Ravens are traveling across the country to play the Los Angeles Chargers. 49ers fans know this as the “Harbowl,” the third one we watch. This sequel, however, has Jim Harbaugh in Southern California for the Chargers rather than his first two losses as coach of the 49ers.
Both teams have seven wins. The Chargers are reminiscent of when Harbaugh coached the 49ers, with that gritty smash-mouth style and always finding ways to win.
