JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell and seven of his assistants ended up taking the fall for the biggest late-season collapse in Jacksonville Jaguars history. Coach Doug Pederson fired Caldwell and the others Monday, a day after a 28-20 loss at Tennessee that knocked the Jaguars out of the playoffs. Jacksonville was 8-3 in late November and had been atop the AFC South since Week 3.
