NFL notes: Jaguars interested in talking to their former coach Coughlin

The Jacksonville Jaguars have interest in former coach Tom Coughlin.

General manager Dave Caldwell said Monday that the 70-year-old Coughlin "would be somebody we'd be interested in talking to" about the team's coaching vacancy.

The Jaguars (2-12) fired Gus Bradley after the team's ninth consecutive loss Sunday. The former Zumbrota High School and North Dakota State product went 14-48 in four seasons in Jacksonville.

Coughlin was Jacksonville's first head coach, leading the Jaguars between 1995 and 2002. He went 68-60 in eight seasons. Coughlin resigned last January after 12 seasons with the Giants, but has made it clear he wants to return to the NFL.

Caldwell could give him a shot. He picked offensive line coach Doug Marrone as the team's interim coach for the final two games. Marrone went 15-17 in two seasons (2013-14) as Buffalo's head coach.

Tom Savage will start at quarterback for the Texans on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Savage took over in the second quarter Sunday when Brock Osweiler was benched against the Jaguars.

Osweiler has struggled in his first season in Houston after signing a $72 million contract to join the Texans from Denver. He threw two interceptions before he was benched on Sunday to give him 16 interceptions and just 14 touchdowns this season.

• A torn finger ligament could keep Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor out of Cleveland's final two games. Pryor, who needs surgery after the season, leads the Browns in receptions (67), yards (877) and four touchdowns.
