TAMPA, Fla. -- Russell Wilson huddled in the locker room with two of his receivers, discussing where the Seattle Seahawks go from here.A 14-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stopped a three-game winning streak that had Wilson and Co. feeling pretty good about the direction of the first-place team.Losing to the Bucs hasnt changed anything, the quarterback said Sunday after being sacked six times and limited to a season-low 151 yards passing and two interceptions.Sometimes you have to have a little struggle to overcome, Wilson said. Were really positive about what we can do. Weve obviously shown it. Weve battled, weve battled and weve battled. They played a little bit better than us. Hopefully next week we can do a better job across the board.Jameis Winston threw touchdown passes to Mike Evans on Tampa Bays first two possessions , before an injury-depleted Seahawks defense minimized the damage the rest of the way.The offense never really got on track, held to 1-yard net passing in the opening half, when Wilson was sacked four times for 19 yards in losses. When it appeared the quarterback might have a chance to rally his team, Jimmy Graham lost a fourth-quarter fumble and the Bucs sealed the victory with their second interception of the day.Its a complete team effort. I thought our defensive continued to fight, even though we were down early, Wilson said. We continued to fight on offense, we continued to fight at the end of the game. Thats the character of men that we have. Theres nobody thats down at all. Were looking forward to the challenge of getting back next week.The Seahawks (7-3-1) were limited to Steven Hauschkas 43-yard field goal and a safety, awarded when Tampa Bay was penalized for holding while blocking for Winston in his end zone.They made their plays and we didnt, said Wilson, who threw for 902 yards, six TDs and zero interceptions during Seattles three-game winning streak.Its pretty simple. Sometimes you make your jump shots, and some days you dont, the quarterback added. Unfortunately today, we didnt hit ours. But we will next time.The Bucs (6-5) have won three straight to climb back into contention for a playoff berth . Besides stopping Seattles winning streak, they remained one game behind first-place Atlanta in the NFC South.IN REMEMBRANCEPlaying just two days after the death of his father, Tampa Bays Alterraun Verner had one of two interceptions off Wilson. The cornerbacks first pick of the season stopped the Seahawks after Wilson drove his team into field-goal range in the final minute of the opening half. The seventh-year pro sobbed on the sideline, where he was embraced by teammates, whove rallied around him.I just knew what his response would have been. He would have been smiling and would have been very, very proud, Verner said. I was definitely thinking about him, and how he would have been reacting.SELECT COMPANYEvans scored on receptions of 3 and 23 yards in the opening quarter and finished with eight catches for 104 yards. The seventh overall pick from the 2014 draft joined Joey Galloway and Vincent Jackson as the only receivers in Bucs history with three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. He has 73 receptions for 1,020 yards and 10 TDs through 11 games.Mike Evans is elite, Winston said. Hes a superstar.SHERMAN VS. EVANSOne of the most anticipated individual matchups featured Evans against Seahawks CB Richard Sherman, who felt offensive pass interference should have been called on the receivers second TD catch. Sherman complained to an official that Evans grabbed his jersey and then pushed off to gain an advantage.We have a ton of respect (for Sherman). We tried to do some things to get Mike on the other side, with motion and whatnot, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said. Mike came up big. The only disappointment is we just didnt stay with it good enough in the second half.WINSTON SPARKLESA week after leading the Bucs to a road win over Kansas City, Winston delivered another stellar performance. He was 21 of 28 for 220 yards, two TDs and one interception. His TD passes to Evans finished drives of 78 and 62 yards on Tampa Bays first two possessions of the game. Hes on a nice little roll, Koetter said. The first couple drives, you couldnt have scripted it any better.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .

TORONTO -- Pavel Datsyuks North American magic show had one final act.Months after deciding to leave the NHL and go home to Russia, the Detroit Red Wings great showed off his fanciful skillset one last time on this side of the ocean at the World Cup of Hockey. A lower-body injury may have cut his tournament short but not before another remarkable performance against players 15 to 20 years younger.Datsyuks legs arent what they used to be at age 38, but he was a difference maker killing penalties and keeping up with the pace of a lightning-fast end-to-end victory against Team North America that helped Russia advance. He missed Russias round-robin finale Thursday against Finland and was scratched again from the lineup Saturday night against Canada.Datsyuk left a lasting memory on the NHL, especially to his peers who appreciate his play the most from watching him up close.Oh, hes unbelievable, said Russian star Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins. You do not see much what he (can) do because hes so professional. Hes (the) most professional Ive ever seen.Datsyuk had 314 goals and 604 assists in 953 games for the Red Wings over 14 seasons. But his play with the puck is more memorable than the points he scored with it, so much so that Apples virtual assistant, Siri, used to recognize Datsyuk as the magic man.Mike Babcock, who coached Datsyuk in Detroit before joining the Toronto Maple Leafs, said the Russian was a pleasure to be around and someone he learned a lot from. Babcock, whos coaching Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews with Canada for a third time, knows Datsyuk wasnt as prodigious as those stars who were elite as teenagers but said he made a major impact when he entered the NHL at age 21.His span, I dont know how many years it was, in my opinion he was the best forward in hockey in that time, Babcock said Thursday. Lots of people would say somebody else scored more points. He was the best player in hockey up front for a period of time with and without the puck.Datsyuk made it look as if he had the puck on a string and waas among the best at knocking it away from opponents.ddddddddddddFour times he won the Lady Byng Trophy awarded to the player who exemplifies sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of ability.That standard hasnt faded. Russia coach Oleg Znarok said in Datsyuks case, age doesnt matter.He is responsible for a lot of roles on our team like penalty kill, he said through an interpreter. Definitely one of the best players.Datsyuk signed with SKA St. Petersburg to finish his playing career in Russias Kontinental Hockey League. He has great respect from the games top players, and those who played with him understand that the most.Talking with guys on (the U.S.) team and guys that Ive come across, (they know) just how good he is with the puck and his takeaways, former Red Wings teammate Justin Abdelkader said. He practices every day. A lot of people dont see, but hes always playing after games, small-area games or 1-on-1 with players. It just shows his commitment and how good he is.As exciting as watching Datsyuk in games has been for fans for over a decade, Abdelkader isnt the only player in awe of his practice habits. Russian teammate Vladislav Namestnikov called Datsyuk unreal and figures hell get better just from soaking in how his elder prepares for games in the gym and after practice.Injuries have hampered Datsyuk and he was traded at the draft -- to the Arizona Coyotes to give Detroit cap relief. Hes on the Coyotes roster this season despite playing in the KHL, where he already has seven points in six games.Datsyuk leaving with one year left on his contract may have rubbed some people the wrong way, but Babcock points out it happened for the right reason.Age catches up to all of us, Babcock said. But hes still an effective player and hes chosen to go home to be around his family and thats good for Pavel.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno . ' ' '
