Fourth-down decision late in second quarter allows John Harbaugh to remain unbeaten vs. his brother
Coaches normally don’t go for it on fourth-and-1 on their own 16-yard line when they’re trailing 10-7 with 2 minutes to go in the first half

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Coaches normally don't go for it on fourth-and-1 on their own 16-yard line when they're trailing 10-7 with 2 minutes to go in the first half.
However, when you're coaching against your younger brother on the opposing sideline, sometimes you have to be aggressive and go all in.
In the case of John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens, it ended up paying off big time.
Mark Andrews' 2-yard gain on a quarterback sneak not only allowed the Ravens to continue their drive, it ended up later turning into a touchdown that gave them the lead against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
