The Jaguars held on to beat the Seahawks for a statement win Sunday in Jacksonville, but the 30-24 victory turned ugly late despite the game being all but over.
With the Jaguars in victory formation, Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett rolled onto a Jaguars lineman's leg, igniting a skirmish between the two sides.

Seattle defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was ejected for throwing a punch and Bennett was flagged for unnecessary roughness, although he is likely to be fined this week for the play.
The Jags (9-4) had to keep kneeling it to end the game, but on the very next snap, Seattle's Quinton Jefferson once again attempted to jar the ball loose. He was ejected and got into an argument with Jacksonville fans on his way to the locker room. Jefferson became upset when fans tossed drinks at him as he walked toward the stadium tunnel.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for running on field after the play.
“It’s really unfortunate how it ended. We had a chance to get the ball back. We have to be more poised than that," Carroll said after the game.
