Is Doug Pederson’s job as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars in jeopardy?
Jaguars owner Shad Khan made significant moves this offseason, including extending quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s contract and bringing in top draft picks and high-profile free agents. However, despite the high expectations, the team continues to struggle with familiar issues.
Following their most humiliating defeat of the season—a crushing 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday—the Jaguars enter their Week 12 bye with a league-worst 2-9 record. With Trevor Lawrence still sidelined by a shoulder injury, Mac Jones started at quarterback, but the game was essentially decided by halftime. The Lions scored on all four first-half possessions and outgained the Jaguars by an astonishing 475 yards.
