5 Key Plays That Shaped Jaguars’ Week 6 Loss to Seahawks

1. One for three. The Seahawks essentially clinched victory Sunday with a 61-yard pass from quarterback Sam Darnold to tight end AJ Barner with 3:00 remaining, a play that gave them a first down at the Jaguars 12 and allowed them to kneel out much of the final two minutes. “He definitely got us on a few,” Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen said of Darnold, who completed 16 of 27 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns – with two key 61-yard completions. “Ultimately, they had some timely play calls.” But the biggest plays of the fourth quarter were actually the Jaguars’ final three series – all of which came with the Jaguars trailing by the final margin. The Jaguars’ defense stopped the Seahawks repeatedly for much of the second half, but the offense produced just one first down on those three possessions while trailing by eight. The last Jaguars’ offense play seemed fitting: Linebackers DeMarcus Lawrence and Uchenna Nwosu splitting the Seahawks’ seventh sack of quarterback Trevor Lawrence on third-and-11 from the Jaguars 35 with 2:53 remaining. The Jaguars had opportunities Sunday. They just couldn’t take advantage.
