Jaguars Face Upheaval After Record Loss to Lions

The Jacksonville Jaguars are facing a potential upheaval following their humiliating 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions, the worst in franchise history. Reports suggest that head coach Doug Pederson and GM Trent Baalke might soon be replaced, with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson being a potential candidate for head coach. Injuries have compounded the Jaguars' woes, with key players like linebacker Yasir Abdullah and running back Tank Bigsby struggling, further weakening their lineup against the formidable Lions. The Jaguars have had difficulty maintaining a consistent offensive performance, particularly in the running game, which might force backup quarterback Mac Jones into a more significant role. The Lions, despite some injury setbacks including tight end Sam LaPorta, demonstrated resilience with a recent comeback victory, showcasing their strength and depth. As the Jaguars enter their bye week, the pressure mounts on the franchise to make sweeping changes to salvage their season and future prospects.
