The Baltimore Ravens versus the Los Angeles Chargers once featured two head coaches who were brothers, John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh. This season, it will be a matchup featuring two former USC Trojans, one on the defensive side of the ball and the other being a rookie receiver: It’s Tuli Tuipulotu of the Bolts versus new Raven Ja’Kobi Lane.
The Ravens and Chargers will clash in Week 10 on Monday Night Football. Both teams are AFC contenders, and the two teams have a lot of history. It won’t be the Harbaugh Bowl this season; instead, Jesse Minter, former Chargers defensive coordinator, will be taking on his former squad and mentor Jim Harbaugh.
Minter will not be coaching Tuli Tuipulotu, who took huge steps forward under his development. Tuli Tuipulotu will still make it his mission to keep Lamar Jackson under wraps. He is coming off a dominant season last year, and he is a key x-factor for the Chargers to win this game.
If Lamar Jackson gets time in the pocket, he can find former Trojan Ja’Kobi Lane and make the Chargers defense pay all game long. There will be enough time for Lamar and Lane to build a connection, and I would not be surprised if those two are clicking on all cylinders. There is a good chance that two of the biggest x-factors in this game will be USC Trojan alumni. It will be interesting to see which one leads their team to a potentially big victory.
