If Doug Pederson hoped to stay on as the Jacksonville Jaguars through their extended London trip, he might have to make some other arrangements very soon after their 35-16 blowout loss to the Chicago Bears.
Throughout the game, it was apparent the Jaguars were not bringing their best punch to the table. Caleb Williams more or less did whatever he wanted to the Jacksonville defense, while the elite Chicago defense flat-out bullied Trevor Lawrence without three of their five starting defensive backs.
After the game, Jaguars defensive leader Andre Cisco distilled Jacksonville’s current state of mind into a blunt assessment of their 1-5 start. At first, Cisco hesitated before saying that there was a “lot of quit” in the Jaguars.
Oof. That’s a horrible look for Doug Pederson and a clear shot across his bow:

Has an NFL team fired its coach while staying abroad for another game? In the coming days, the Jaguars and Pederson feel pretty likely to make a unique history in this regard.
