### Jaguars Face Historic Defeat Amid Growing Calls for Change

The Jacksonville Jaguars experienced a franchise-worst defeat with a staggering 52-6 thrashing by the Detroit Lions on Sunday. This loss marks a low point for the team, intensifying the scrutiny on head coach Doug Pederson, especially as the season continues to unravel with a dismal 2-9 record.

The Jaguars, already facing severe criticism following a rough start to the season, found themselves in an even more precarious position after this latest debacle. The Lions, considered Super Bowl contenders and 14-point favorites heading into the game, delivered a performance that underscored the vast gap between the two teams. The lackluster effort from both the offense and defense of the Jaguars has further fueled the debate over the future of the coaching staff.

Before this game, there were murmurs about Pederson potentially being on the chopping block. Now, those murmurs have turned into outright demands from a frustrated fan base. The extent of the defeat has fans and analysts alike questioning if sweeping changes are necessary to reverse the team’s fortunes.

While some players have come forward in support of Pederson, the overwhelming sentiment among fans suggests that patience is wearing thin. The decision now lies with Jaguars owner Shad Khan: should he make immediate changes to the coaching staff, or should Pederson be given another opportunity to prove his worth next season?
