For the past year, NFL fans have pointed out that Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy look alike. On Monday night, they were on opposing sidelines for the first time ever.
After the Ravens dismantled the 49ers on the road, Harbaugh and Purdy shook hands at midfield.
Harbaugh couldn’t help but crack a joke with his apparent doppelgänger.
“People tell me we look alike,” Harbaugh told Purdy. “I got a lot of respect for you, man. You do a great job.”
The John Harbaugh-Brock Purdy doppelgänger meetup actually happened 🤣

Clearly, Harbaugh is aware of what’s being said on social media.
Purdy struggled mightily against the Ravens, tossing four interceptions. His performance most likely killed any chance he had at winning MVP.
As for Harbaugh, it’s safe to say he coached a great game against the top seed in the NFC.
If the Ravens and 49ers meet again in the postseason, it’ll be interesting to see which doppelgänger steps up under the bright lights.
