WATCH: Raven’s Coach Gives God Glory After Playoff Win, Most Watched NFL Game in ESPN’s History


Another feel good story in these troubling times!

For those of you following the Baltimore Ravens, you probably already know this.

But for those of you who don’t, their Coach John Harbaugh, just celebrated a big win tonight of 34 to 10 against Houston Texans (Sorry, Matthew McConaughey).

The main point though is that he gave God the glory on live TV, which is awesome to see!

God loves that and He usually keeps blessing the man that keeps sending back the glory.  It’s sort of like a spiritual game of catch with the Heavenly Father.

Additionally, the coach said this during the most watched NFL game in ESPN’s history. Almost like God planned that, like He made sure to get the biggest audience of all time for this moment.

That’s how it’s done, folks!

MSN reports here:

The Baltimore Ravens are hosting the first conference championship game in Baltimore since 1971 after Lamar Jackson accounted for four touchdowns — two throwing and two rushing — in a 34-10 victory over the Houston Texans Saturday.

The game was tied at 10 at one point, but Baltimore won with 24 unanswered points.

fter earning a playoff bye, emotions ran high in Baltimore’s locker room, and it was Jackson’s second playoff win.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh opened his postgame press conference by reading a Bible verse.

“Greatness, power, glory, victory and honor belong to you, because everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you. The kingdom belongs to you, Lord,” Harbaugh said, via OutKick NFL insider Armando Salguero, reciting 1 Chronicles.

Harbaugh’s quote came a week after C.J. Stroud, the quarterback Harbaugh’s Ravens beat Saturday, gave “all glory to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ” after the Texans’ playoff win over the Cleveland Browns.

Stroud’s comments were edited out of a post on X, formerly Twitter, from the official account of NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”

What a surprise. NBC edited out his comments.

The verse he quoted is 1 Chronicles 29:11.

More from USA Today:

ESPN’s NFL Divisional Playoff presentation shattered records in consecutive years in which the final game of the season was its most-watched NFL game ever, playoffs or regular season, dating back to 1987 when ESPN acquired NFL rights.

With an audience of 31.8 million – based on Nielsen fast nationals – Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens (Saturday, Jan. 20) surpasses the 2023 Super Wild Card Monday night game featuring the Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (January 16, 2023) for ESPN’s top spot. Please note: ESPN’s audience is expected to elevate to more than 32 million when Nielsen reports final numbers this week.

And here he is breaking out the dance moves after the win over Texas. Funny how this is the main story that the media is going with.

Oh, well. Celebrate Coach, you deserve it!

And here’s to all of us in keeping the timeless game of playing spiritual catch (throwing God the glory and catching the blessings) alive.
