Super Bowl 2013: Harbaugh-Harbaugh, Ravens and 49ers
The Harbaugh brothers, Colin Kaepernick and Ray Lewis. Who control the fate of Super Bowl 2013 in New Orleans, February 3rd?
For the first time in NFL history, two brothers will coach against one another in the Super Bowl. John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens will duke it out with younger bro Jim Harbaugh of the San Francisco 49ers.
Since entering the league both brothers have made head coaching look a little too easy. With a combined 7 seasons coaching (John entered in 2008, Jim in 2011) both have made the playoffs every year.
Though the Harbaugh Bowl will most likely dominate headlines, sickeningly so, there's a couple other storylines to keep an eye on.
In his second season and only 10th game (the Super Bowl in two weeks), 25-year old Colin Kaepernick has joined rookies Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson and 2-year vet Cam Newton in theQuarterback 2.0 club. Kaepernick, an excellent runner, can also deliver from the pocket, making him a double threat and defensive nightmare. Setting an NFL record for 181 yards rushing two weeks ago against the Packers, he only rushed twice for 21 yards against the Falcons defense, allowing Frank Gore's running game to heat up.
Baltimore Ravens' Ray Lewis, one of the best linebackers of all-time will be playing his last game two Sundays from now, February 3rd. Can the Ravens defense galvanize around their outspoken leader to give him the fairy tale exit from the game? Can Joe Flacco join the ranks of Brady, Rodgers and Manning, finally proving he's the elite quarterback he's been saying he is all year.
Two weeks time will tell who will win Super Bowl 2013 in New Orleans.
