A Super Bowl-winning head coach could be on his way out the door, and the injury bug continues to bite one of the NFL’s most talented rosters in the news and notes heading into Week 11 on Sunday. While the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers moved closer to solidifying their spots in the AFC playoff picture, the Jacksonville Jaguars moved closer to the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after a 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions. Doug Pederson led the Jaguars to mediocre 9-8 records in each of the past two seasons, even making the playoffs and winning a game in 2022, but a terrible start to the year could mean his job is in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Nick Bosa left the 49ers’ heartbreaking loss to the Seahawks, and it wasn’t a re-aggravation of a hip injury that put him on the injury report heading into Week 11.
Doug Pederson on the hot seat in Jacksonville
It’s not great when you lose a game by 46 points and you have the worst record in the NFL. Doug Pederson’s tenure on Florida’s First Coast has turned sour after a first season that included an AFC South title and plans to help Trevor Lawrence become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Well, at 2-9 and with the Jags having a Week 12 bye, now could be the time to make a change, according to Yahoo Sports senior NFL writer Frank Schwab.
“On Saturday, someone leaked to NFL Media that with the Jaguars’ bye week approaching, big changes could be made, including firing Pederson. That’s an underhanded way of finding out that keeping your job might depend on winning in Detroit, but at least Pederson knew the stakes. And like almost everything else since the Super Bowl win with the Eagles, Pederson came up short.”
Pederson, who led the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship, is just 42-50-1 as a head coach since that lone playoff appearance in 2022. Stay tuned in Jacksonville.
Nick Bosa is struggling with an oblique injury
Just as Christian McCaffrey has returned to the lineup, the snake-bitten 2024 49ers are dealing with another injury to another big star. After Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the oblique injury was new, but did not provide more information on what that would mean for the star pass rusher. Bosa has seven sacks this season and has posted double-digit sack totals each of the last three years. The 5-5 49ers are tied with the Rams and Seahawks, one game back of the 6-4 Cardinals in the NFC West.

Brian Daboll on Giants’ quarterback change: ‘This was a necessary move for us’
“We’re making a quarterback switch from Daniel Jones to Tommy DeVito,” Daboll said Monday. “After evaluating and watching a lot of tape, that’s the reason we’re going with Tommy. Drew Lock will be the backup. This was a necessary move for us and I look forward to working with Tommy.”
DeVito, who has not played this season, played in nine games last season and threw for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions.
