Doug Pederson has a Super Bowl ring as a player and as a coach, so he understands life at the top of the NFL.

Right now, he’s at the bottom.

Pederson acknowledged his shaky job status Sunday after his Jacksonville Jaguars were humiliated by the Detroit Lions, losing 52-6 in one of the worst performances in team history.

Jacksonville is entering its bye week, giving owner Shad Khan time to make a move if he chooses. Pederson didn’t rule out making changes to his coaching staff during the week off, and he understands he might be gone before Jacksonville (2-9) plays the Houston Texans on Dec. 1.

“I can’t control that,” he said. “I’ve been around this sport a long time, and if it is going to happen, it is obviously going to happen. But at the same time, I have a job to do and that’s to get this team ready to face a good division.”

The 46-point margin of defeat broke the previous team record of 44, also set at Detroit. That, though, was in 1995, when the Jaguars were a first-year expansion team.

Twenty-nine years later, it is hard to explain how a team can get beaten this badly.

“We’re disappointed, we’re frustrated and we’re angry,” Pederson said. “You put so much effort into a game week and then, you know, you play like this.”

With Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) missing another game, backup Mac Jones rarely had time to throw. He was only sacked once, but his 17 completions only went for an average of 8 yards. He also threw an interception at the Lions 4.

Pederson was happy to be entering the bye week after the Jaguars played 11 straight weeks, including two in London. They have lost four straight after also dropping their first four games.

“Our break obviously comes at the right time,” he said. “Our guys need some time away and we need to refresh and recharge — the players and the coaches.

“We need to really reflect and go back and study — what has been good and what hasn’t made it. That’s a great opportunity — six games left including four in our division.”

LIONS LOSE STARTING LINEBACKER: Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone broke his left forearm against the Jaguars and is expected to miss six to eight weeks, another blow to a defense that has been hit hard by injuries.

Anzalone had three solo tackles and assisted on two stops on Sunday.

He has 56 tackles this season, ranking third on the team after leading the team in tackles in each of the last two seasons.

The NFC-leading Lions have lost a lot of players on defense, including star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson, who had 7 1/2 sacks before he broke his leg last month.
