The Washington Redskins are winless through three weeks, and head coach Jay Gruden's seat is getting hotter with every loss.

But if Gruden - who's in his sixth season with the team - is concerned about his job security, he isn't letting it show.

In the wake of Monday night's blowout loss to the Chicago Bears, Gruden said on Tuesday he doesn't believe he's now coaching for his job every week,

"No. I haven't felt like that. But who knows?" Gruden said, according to ESPN's John Keim. "I'm just trying to concentrate on the Giants right now, put our best foot forward, learn from our mistakes here and try to get better. That's all we're trying to do here as a staff and go from there."

The Redskins have missed the playoffs in four of Gruden's five seasons at the helm, including the last three years. Washington has failed to record double-digit wins under Gruden, who has posted a 35-47-1 record.

Despite the early struggles this season, Gruden said he isn't considering making any changes to his coaching staff.

"We've played three games against three playoff teams and we haven't played our best ball yet. I anticipate we're going to get better," Gruden said. "We're a pretty young football team on offense, haven't played together a whole lot. They're going to get better. And defensively, I think we've underachieved a little bit, but I still think they're going to come together and we'll make a move here."

After Monday's loss, Gruden said he'll continue to start Case Keenum over first-round pick Dwayne Haskins at quarterback, with the veteran under center for Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants despite committing five turnovers against the Bears.
