JACKSONVILLEThe scrap, grit and want-to were there yet again.

This time, those weren't enough.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw two touchdown passes and the Jaguars inched close in the second half, but what had been reliable wasn't on Sunday and the Seattle Seahawks held on for a 20-12 victory in front of 61,056 at EverBank Stadium on a sun-splashed October afternoon.

The Seahawks clinched the victory by kneeling out the final 1:57 on their final drive, with tight end AJ Barner's 61-yard reception from quarterback Sam Darnold giving them possession deep in Jaguars territory.

The Jaguars had three possessions in the fourth quarter trailing by eight points their three series before Seattle's final drive but failed to produce a first down on any of those drives.

The Jaguars, after allowing six sacks in the first five games, allowed seven for 44 yards on Sunday. After entering Sunday with an NFL-leading 14 takeaways, they didn't force the Seahawks into a turnover.

They also were penalized 10 times for 76 yards.

The Jaguars (4-2) lost after winning three consecutive games, with the Seahawks (4-2) winning for a third time in four games. The Jaguars are 3-1 at EverBank Stadium this season, with Sunday's game extending the Seahawks' road winning streak to nine games.

Darnold threw a 61-yard second-quarter touchdown to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and an 11-yard third-quarter touchdown to wide receiver Cooper Kupp to give the Seahawks a 20-6 lead entering the fourth quarter.

Lawrence gave the Jaguars an early lead with a first-quarter touchdown pass to wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., then pulled them to within eight points with a touchdown pass to wide receiver Tim Patrick early in the fourth quarter.

Lawrence completed 27 of 42 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, with running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushing for 27 yards on 12 carries. Thomas caught eight passes for 90 yards and a touchdown.

Darnold completed 16 of 27 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, with running back Kenneth Walker III rushing for 34 yards 10 carries. Smith-Njigba caught eight passes for 162 yards and one touchdown.

Jaguars kicker Cam Little missed an extra point and a 50-yard field goal in the first half, with the Seahawks leading 10-6 at halftime.
