Jacksonville Jaguars head coach, Doug Pederson, is considering making significant changes after his team's crushing 47-10 defeat against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. The Jaguars suffered their largest halftime deficit in franchise history, with the Bills leading 34-3 at the half, ultimately leading to a decisive victory for Buffalo. The loss dropped the Jaguars to a disappointing 0-3 record for the season and marked their eighth defeat in the last nine games, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence now having lost eight consecutive starts.
In a post-game press conference, Pederson expressed a willingness to explore various adjustments to improve the team's performance, stating that everything, including play design, personnel, and more, is under consideration. The coach acknowledged the need for changes to get the Jaguars back on track and emphasized the importance of evaluating all aspects of the team to make necessary adjustments. Despite a 9-8 finish last season that resulted in missing the playoffs, the Jaguars signed Lawrence to a hefty five-year, $275 million contract extension during the offseason, cementing his status as one of the highest-paid players in the NFL.
While the Jaguars have made a long-term commitment to Lawrence as their starting quarterback, Pederson did not rule out the possibility of a quarterback change when questioned about it post-game. He highlighted the need to assess injuries, player performance, and other factors before making any decisions regarding the team's lineup. The Jaguars' disappointing start to the season has heightened concerns among fans and analysts, raising questions about the team's direction and potential adjustments moving forward. As the Jaguars look to regroup and improve their performance, all eyes will be on the coaching staff and management to make the necessary changes to turn their season around.
