The 4-9 Jacksonville Jaguars are mired in a five-game losing skid, and while their playoff hopes faded long ago, there's still much to play for.

"I think when you get to these situations, it's not rocket science. Everybody's fighting to maintain, to try to stay in the league," head coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday, according to NFL.com's Nick Shook.

"Whether it's players by doing a good job being able to perform so they can keep a job, or whether it be coaches doing a good job with their position group, or whether it be me trying to win football games."

Marrone is considered to be on the chopping block after going 9-20 since 2018. He signed a two-year contract extension in February 2018 that would keep him in Jacksonville through the 2021 season, but the Jaguars have struggled mightily since their AFC conference title game appearance in 2017.

The Jaguars have lost each of their past five contests by at least 17 points. They have three games left to right the ship.

"I think that's something that we've all talked about. And that's why I think when you look at it, and I think it's easy from an outside perspective to say, 'What do they have to play for, what do they have to do?' We're all fighting for our jobs," Marrone said.
