The New York Jets are cleaning house, with GM Joe Douglas getting the boot exactly six weeks after the team fired head coach Robert Saleh. Since then, the Jets have won just one of their last six games since Jeff Ulbrich took over head coaching duties. Douglas’ contract was set to expire after this season; he compiled a 30-64 record as general manager.
Elsewhere in the NFL, while the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers inched 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 beatdown at the hands of the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Doug Pederson led the Jaguars to middling 9-8 records in each of the past two seasons, even making the playoffs and winning a game in 2022, but an awful 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 had him on the injury report heading into Week 11.
But first, let’s talk some Dallas Cowboys, who not only got pasted by the Houston Texans on Monday night, but haven’t won at home in a shockingly long time.
Cowboys still haven’t won at home in 2024
The Cowboys got demolished by the Houston Texas on Monday Night Football, losing 34-10 at home at AT&T Stadium. Dallas is now 3-7, with all three of their wins coming on the road. They and the struggling New York Giants are the only teams without a home win this season. But if you pull the camera back a bit, things look even worse for the Cowboys. The Giants’ last home win was on Jan. 7, 2024, but the Cowboys haven’t won a home game since Dec. 30, 2023.
That means the Cowboys are the only team in all four major North American pro sports leagues without a home win in the year 2024. Even the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards, who are tied for the NBA’s worst record at 2-11, each have a home win.
With four of their seven remaining games at home, the Cowboys have a decent chance at securing a home stadium win before the season is over. But we’ve seen the 2024 Cowboys play. It’s possible they go the entire 2024 season without a victory at home.
Doug Pederson on the hot seat in Jacksonville
Things aren’t great when you lose a game by 46 points and you’ve got 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 designs on shepherding Trevor Lawrence into becoming one of the top 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 coming up, big changes could be made including firing Pederson. That’s an underhanded way of finding out that keeping your job might depend on winning at Detroit, but at least Pederson knew the stakes. And like just about everything else since that Super Bowl win with the Eagles, Pederson fell short.”
Pederson, who led the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship is just 42-50-1 as a head coach since with that lone 2022 playoff appearance. While the Jaguars didn’t fire Pederson on Monday, stay tuned in Jacksonville.
Nick Bosa dealing with oblique injury
Just as Christian McCaffrey has returned to the lineup, the snake-bitten 2024 49ers are dealing with another injury to another major star. After Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the oblique injury was a new one, but didn’t offer more 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 past three years. The 5-5 49ers are tied with the Rams and Seahawks, a game back of the 6-4 Cardinals in the NFC West.
