The Jacksonville Jaguars' nightmare start to the season continued Sunday when they gave up a late lead and lost to the Houston Texans on the road, 24-20. The loss dropped the Jaguars to 0-4 on the season and it was the ninth straight defeat for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Things took an even worse turn after the game when head coach Doug Pederson appeared to throw his players under the bus when asked about possibly taking over the play-calling from offensive coordinator Press Taylor.
"For what? I thought he called a great game," Pederson said of Taylor. "As coaches, we can’t go out there and make plays, it’s a two-way street."
Doug Pederson asked if he’s going to take over play-calling moving forward.

That second line is what had fans calling for Pederson's job.
Ooooof, terrible answers. Think it’s time for Doug to pack his things. Will never understand why he let Press Taylor get him fired…twice! https://t.co/HD6PL4r6gO

You gave Tank Bigsby 0 carries in the 4th
You didn’t run on 2nd and 3rd down with the lead
You had another abysmal goal line sequence
If you thought he called a great game, then you need to go https://t.co/72nwKZuGKG
