Doug Pederson: Philly Icon to Jacksonville Favorite

The Jacksonville Jaguars made the playoffs as the champions of the AFC South in the first season of Doug Pederson’s tenure in Northeast Florida. Coming off of back-to-back seasons as the worst team in the NFL, the Jaguars won five straight games to put them back in the playoffs for the first time since 2017, their fourth playoff trip since 2000 as a franchise. After a comeback for the ages in the Wild Card round, Pederson has the Jags in a spot to continue their Cinderella run.
