Wherever Jim Harbaugh goes, he wins. Period. On Saturday, the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the New England Patriots, 40-7, to improve to 10-6 on the year and clinch a spot in the NFL Playoffs in Harbaugh's first season back in the NFL. This comes one year removed from leading Michigan to its first national championship since 1997.
