During a press conference, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh playfully addressed Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal, sharing that some scouts had flights canceled to Kansas City due to poor weather.
Harbaugh noted that sending scouts to opposing games is “legal” in the NFL. This comment appears to be a light-hearted jab at his brother Jim, who faced scrutiny in college football for a similar incident involving a former Michigan analyst attending games for opposing teams.
John and Jim remain close, and during the Championship game, John surprised his brother Jim on the sidelines.

While the Ravens aim to gain an edge in their next opponent, potentially the Dolphins or Chiefs, Michigan recently won the national title amid the sign-stealing controversy. The NCAA’s investigation into the matter continues.
The Dolphins-Chiefs game is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
