From recent article in NYTimes:
"... Belichick insisted the recent meetings between the two teams “don’t really mean too much this week.’’
“We’ve played them in various times throughout the years and each game had some [similar] characteristics,’’ he said. “But right now, this game is all about this week and how these two teams match up — not any other teams. That’s really all we’re focused on. They’re an impressive team. I think Coach Harbaugh, his staff and the organization have done a great job with that team, as they usually do. They’re good in all three phases of the game.’’
Belichick, who called the Ravens “one of the most complete, well-rounded teams in the league,’’ always has had high praise for Harbaugh — dating back to seven years ago, when he called Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and recommended Harbaugh to him.
“It meant everything,” Harbaugh recalled. “As far as probably getting the job, it didn’t hurt. But the fact that he was willing to do that at the time, I was stunned when I heard the story much later.’’
Now Harbaugh hopes to knock Belichick and the Patriots out of the playoffs for the third time since 2009.

Bill has alot of clout in NFL, IMO.
