Will the Jaguars fire Doug Pederson? Head coach reportedly could be let go with loss to Lions

The Jaguars were supposed to compete for a playoff spot this year, but Jacksonville sits at 2-8 this year and tied for the worst record in the NFL. With such a disappointing season unfolding, it only feels like a matter of time before they move on from head coach Doug Pederson.

On Sunday, the Jaguars play the 8-1 Lions, and barring the biggest upset in the NFL thus far this season, Jacksonville is headed towards becoming the first team with nine losses this year. That would mark the first time in the Pederson era that the Jaguars reached nine losses, a sign of how far the team has fallen this year.

Here is where the Jaguars stand heading into their Week 11 game at Detroit.
