Jim Harbaugh of the Chargers jokes that he's now up 2-0 because of cardiac arrhythmias

While doing so, Harbaugh made sure to tell reporters that he was “2-0 with cardiac arrhythmias” and was absolutely “medically qualified to talk about it.” On that earlier point, Harbaugh said he had experienced this in the past, it was the third “episode” since 1999. He said he used it to win a game during his time with the San Francisco 49ers – he recalled a Monday night game against Chicago in 2012 in particular that featured a big game from Colin Kaepernick.

This “medically qualified to talk about it” dig is particularly funny because Harbaugh had said the exact opposite the day before when discussing the strange injury saga that landed a Chargers player on injured reserve.
