JACKSONVILLE — The previous time the Jacksonville Jaguars lost nine consecutive games, owner Shad Khan fired coach Gus Bradley before they left the stadium.
Jacksonville (1-8) dropped its eighth straight at Green Bay on Sunday and can match the longest, single-season skid in franchise history against unbeaten Pittsburgh. It would be impossible for Khan to ignore, even if he’s giving coach Doug Marrone and general manager Dave Caldwell credit for cleaning up the locker room and the salary cap.
After all, the Jaguars have shown signs of progress in the past two weeks — something Marrone reluctantly acknowledged after saying “there’s something that’s in my soul that just gets (expletive) ripped out” with every loss.
