On Saturday, the Baltimore Ravens won their biggest game since they last won the Super Bowl more than a decade ago. And in the postgame press conference, coach John Harbaugh knew exactly who to thank.
After the Ravens fought back from a 10-10 tie at halftime and completely dominated the second half for a 34-10 victory, Harbaugh, instead of praising his (presumably) future MVP quarterback, gave his creator credit for I started the press by saying thank you.
“Greatness and power and glory and victory and honor are yours, for all of heaven and earth is yours. The kingdom is yours, Lord,” Harbaugh read.

This verse is found in 1 Chronicles 29:11-13.
Harbaugh's bold statement of faith comes after Houston's loss to the Cleveland Browns, when NBC's official Sunday Night Football account reported that Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had “committed to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.'' This came a week after he edited a comment that said, “Glory to you.”
The Ravens coach wasn't the only member of the Harbaugh family to speak out in defense of his faith this week. John Harbaugh's brother, University of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, spoke at the March for Life in Washington, D.C.
