The Jacksonville Jaguars find themselves in a precarious spot ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions. They're 2-8, and Trevor Lawrence has already been ruled out for the game. Mac Jones is the next man up behind center but he's coming off a dreadful performance.
Jones went 14-of-22 for 115 yards with two interceptions against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. He took responsibility for his poor play but told the local Wednesday that it won't deter him from putting in the work to get better.
"I think the defense played great, and the offense, we got to do better. It starts with me," Jones said. "And those guys fought tough, and I really appreciate the team for having my back. Just got to learn from it, no excuses. I definitely wanted a different result, but I'm going to keep fighting."
For his part, head coach Doug Pederson expects Jones to rebound against the Lions, pointing out that he's a veteran who knows how to deal with the ebbs and flows of the NFL.
"It's in the regular season, so it's hard to... you hate to say the word rust and all that stuff," Pederson responded when asked if Jones could have been rusty after not playing most of the season. "But look, he's been in big games before. He knows how to handle them. I would expect that he's gonna rebound this week, learn from it as we all are, and move forward."
