In AZ, we protected Election Day.

John has all the older brother bragging rights, but Jim probably got all the younger sibling special treatment. John also has the Super Bowl trump card, having defeated his baby brother in the 2013 edition of the big game. But regardless of who’s older, they’ve both carved out strong coaching careers. The elder brother, John, started his coaching career in college before moving to the pros and holding down a decade-plus-long tenure as the Ravens’ head coach....
