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 .

The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast.WASHINGTON -- A tumultuous start to a post-All Star break homestand threatened to derail the Washington Nationals season. A strong finish has them believing once again. Wilson Ramos hit a grand slam and rookie right-hander Taylor Jordan had six strong innings for his first major league win to lead the Nationals to a 14-1 rout of the New York Mets on Sunday. Washington won its third game in a row and fourth in five to salvage a roller-coaster 11-game homestand. It lost the first six games after the All-Star break, fired hitting coach Rick Eckstein last Monday and demoted former closer Drew Storen to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday. "I think we all know what this group is capable of and what kind of people we have in here," said third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, whose team won a major-league best 98 games in 2012, but entered the weekend in third place in the NL East. "Thats one of the biggest strengths of this team is not worrying about things that happen, good or bad." Mets right-hander Carlos Torres (1-2) could not build on his solid start last week against the Atlanta Braves. He allowed eight runs and nine hits in just three innings. Ramos had his third-inning grand slam. He ripped a 2-1 pitch into the left-field stands to cap a five-run inning. Jordan (1-3), making his sixth career start, earned his first victory. The 24-year-old held New York to five hits in six innings. "Im extremely happy," Jordan said. "For a little bit I was wondering. I go 0-4, 0-5 -- am I helping the team? Then finally just to get that one win means that I am." The Nats set season highs in runs and hits (18) and battered Torres. Ramos singled home Ian Desmond in the second inning to start the scoring. Bryce Harper followed two batters later with a two-out single on a 3-2 count that scored two more runs to make it 3-0. Zimmerman led off the third inning with a single and scored on a Desmond base hit prior to Ramos grand slam. Zimmerman finished 3-for-4 with a double. Ramos tied a career high with five RBIs -- the second time this month hes done so. Ramos also had five RBIs on July 4 against Milwaukee. The grand slam was the first of his career. "This is definitely what we envisioned coming out of spring training," said Nats outfielder Denard Span, who had four hits in a game for the first time since July 31, 2012. "Being able to score runs like this and put a lot of pressure on thee other teams (pitching).ddddddddddddquot; Span, who entered the weekend without a home run since last Oct. 2, hit his second in as many days. That line drive over the fence in the sixth inning made it 13-1. Desmond reached base five times, drove in three runs and posted his third four-hit game of the year. The only Mets run came on a fourth-inning single to right by Marlon Byrd. That drove home Eric Young. Jordan struck out a career-best seven batters and walked just one. Torres, meanwhile, was gone by the third inning and New York needed four relievers to finish the game. Thats far from ideal with a three-game series beginning Monday in Miami, "Thats where I need to step up and eat up more innings if a situation like that arises again," Torres said. "We still need to get into the next series with a fresher bullpen than we got today." Washington is now 52-54 after falling a season-worst five games below .500 after a Game 1 loss to start a Friday doubleheader against the Mets. Jordan, who began the season at Class A Potomac, has done his part for a rotation missing left-hander Ross Detwiler, on the 15-day disabled list with a herniated disc in his back. Veteran Dan Haren (5-1, 5.49) has also struggled. "We continually have guys come up from our minor-league system and help us out," Zimmerman said. "I think that shows how good of a system we have and what a good job they do getting those guys ready to contribute. Taylor has kind of saved us." NOTES: Mets third baseman David Wright was not in the starting lineup for just the third time this season It was a non-injury day off, "which he certainly needs," said New York manager Terry Collins. ... Nats pitching coach Steve McCatty was taken to a local hospital before the game with what was called atrial fibrillation and high blood pressure. He was expected to remain hospitalized overnight, but will join the team in Detroit on Tuesday. . On Monday, the Mets continue an eight-game road trip with the start of a three-game series in Miami against the last-place Marlins. ...
