HC John Harbaugh Makes Bold ‘Oath’ Ahead of 2025 Season After New Contract Extension

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh recites Bible verse to open press  conference after playoff win | Fox News

BALTIMORE, Md. — The Baltimore Ravens have locked in their future on the sidelines, signing head coach John Harbaugh to a new three-year contract extension that keeps him with the franchise through the 2028 season. And following the announcement, Harbaugh delivered a message as sharp as ever: the Ravens’ standard is the Super Bowl.

Harbaugh, who first took over in 2008, is already the longest-tenured coach in team history. With 172 regular-season wins and a Super Bowl XLVII championship to his name, his résumé has made him one of the most respected leaders in the league. The new deal reflects the franchise’s commitment to stability and belief that Harbaugh remains the man to lead Baltimore into its next era.

Despite consistent playoff appearances, the Ravens have faced bitter exits in recent seasons. In 2023, Baltimore fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship. In 2024, another promising run ended in the Divisional Round. Those defeats have sparked questions about whether the Ravens can break through again.

Harbaugh addressed that reality directly:

“We know what the standard is here — and it’s not just playoff wins. Our mission is to bring another Lombardi Trophy back to Baltimore. I signed this deal because I believe in this roster, in our culture, and in the path we’ve built. We’ve come close, but close isn’t enough.”

With Lamar Jackson in his prime, a defense anchored by playmakers, and a front office investing heavily in depth, Harbaugh expressed confidence that the Ravens are built to take the next step.

“We’ve proven we can get to January every year. Now it’s about finishing. Ravens fans deserve a championship, and that’s what drives me every single day.”

As the 2025 season approaches, Harbaugh’s extension brings both stability and accountability. The franchise has made clear that expectations are sky-high. And with Harbaugh doubling down on his belief in the Ravens’ Super Bowl potential, the message to the AFC is clear: Baltimore isn’t settling for anything less.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
