Wintery Weather Delays Ravens’ Scouts, But Coaches’ Work Will Begin Immediately
Harbaugh said some of Baltimore’s scouts had their flights cancelled by inclement weather, trying to make their way to Kansas City for Saturday night’s Dolphins-Chiefs playoff game. That game could be one of the coldest in league history, with the forecast calling for temperatures ranging from -8 to -10, with the wind chill making it feel even colder.
Harbaugh couldn’t resist getting in a dig when talking about advance scouting, which became a sensitive issue for his brother, Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh, who led the Wolverines to the national championship.
“It’s going to be very interesting,” Harbaugh said. “We have some scouts whose flights have been canceled going out there who were trying to get out there to scout the game, which is legal in pro football, by the way.”
Harbaugh said the Ravens’ coaches will start scouting their potential next opponent after Saturday’s Texans-Browns game, which kicks off at 4:30 p.m. They could face the winner of that game in the divisional playoffs.
If the No. 6-seeded Dolphins win on Saturday night, Ravens coaches will immediately flip to working on them. If the No. 7-seeded Steelers win on Sunday, Baltimore will reverse course again to begin working on them immediately.
“The good thing for us is the opponent that could come into the picture on Sunday is one that we’ve played very recently [the Steelers]. It’s helpful the way it worked out for us,” Harbaugh said.
