SEATTLE -- Two years have passed since the Seattle Seahawks gave up on their experiment.Percy Harvin was the subject of Seattles trial, seeing if one of the most dynamic talents in the NFL could mesh and supplement the structure of the Seahawks system.The results of the Harvin experience were so muddled and so incomplete that two years after Harvin was traded midseason from Seattle to the New York Jets, its still difficult to provide a definition to his time with the Seahawks.Yes, he did have a part in the Seahawks winning their only Super Bowl title. Yes, he caused internal strife that eventually led to his departure from Seattle.But ask those who shared the locker room with Harvin during his time in Seattle and as he prepares for an unexpected NFL return with the Buffalo Bills visiting the Seahawks on Monday night, and there is no criticism of Harvins time in the Pacific Northwest.I loved him when he was here. I loved him as a person and as a teammate, Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. Im excited that hes back on the field.Of course its this week that Harvin is coming out of retirement. The story line is just too good. With Buffalo thinned at wide receiver because of injuries, Harvin was the option turned to by the Bills for additional depth.Whether he is active and how much he plays on Monday night is still to be determined, although Buffalo coach Rex Ryan sounded confident that Harvin would play against the Seahawks.He looks good out there, Ryan said. You know the conditioning part of it and doing the football-specific things, obviously, theyre not to where he would be if he was here the whole time. But I think he can help us.Harvin has led a nomadic NFL existence since he was traded from Minnesota to Seattle before the 2013 season. He spent all of 1+ seasons in Seattle, appeared in six regular- season games and scored just one touchdown.He had a pair of locker room incidents that never came to light until after he was traded in the middle of the 2014 season, and was such a bad fit for Seattles offense the best option was a trade to the Jets.When he was here, we used to say he was like the Bugatti, you just bring it out on game day, Seattle defensive end Cliff Avril said. So its kind of the same thing. They went and got a Bugatti, I guess.But for all the unfulfilled potential of what Harvins tenure in Seattle ended up being, hell forever hold some reverence for his time with the Seahawks because of his Super Bowl performance that included a 87-yard kickoff return touchdown to open the second half.Great Super Bowl, phenomenal effect he had on us then, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. We just had to make an adjustment on the roster and we did it. It was just something we had to do football-wise.Harvins biggest issue in recent years has been injuries, a trend that started when he needed hip surgery before ever playing a game with the Seahawks.Last season with Buffalo, Harvin was limited to 19 catches for 218 yards and one touchdown before undergoing right knee surgery in January.The Bills need whatever help they can get at receiver. Top threat Sammy Watkins will miss at least another two weeks with a left foot injury. No. 2 receiver Robert Woods is playing despite aggravating an injury to his right foot. On the bright side, speedster Marquise Goodwin has been cleared to return since missing one game with a concussion.Harvin said theres no grudge toward how things went in Seattle.Im just a player who likes to play at the level I expect of myself, and the level that my peers expect me to play at, Harvin said.Ive never been a guy to hold on to grudges, to want to get back at anybody. I keep trying to tell everybody I have lot of good relationships still with the Seattle guys over there, with the player personnel, with the strength coach. Man, he still sends me emails on a daily basis.Theres still a lot of love there no matter what the perception of what things went on there. They still have love for me. I have love for them. We won a Super Bowl together. So its love over here.---AP Sports Writer John Wawrow contributed to this report.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cullen Gillaspia Womens Jersey .

McCollum took over in the third quarter for the Portland Trail Blazers to victory.McCollum scored 33 points, Evan Turner had 19 and the Trail Blazers beat the Brooklyn Nets 129-109 on Sunday. Portland snapped a three-game losing streak and extended Brooklyns skid to four.Damian Lillard added 18 points for the Trail Blazers, and Allen Crabbe had 14.

Portland never looked back.I had some good looks, McCollum said. Guys did a great job moving the ball and finding the weak side. It was like throwing rocks in the ocean.Poor third quarters are becoming a trend, according to Lopez.I think one of the things that is difficult for us is the third quarters, Lopez said. I think there are usually games where weve come out and teams have made a run and come out and hit first. It is tough to come back from that playing behind the rest of the night.I just think we come out flat. I think its on us 100 percent. I mean, I dont think you can look at the other teams. Weve had a variety of different guys, and they play differently. I think that one is on us for sure.TIP-INSTrail Blazers: Coach Terry Stotts praised the growth of Mason Plumlee as a playmaker.dddddddddddd What we use the most is his playmaking ability, his passing. We give him the freedom to get a rebound and take it up. We play through him out on the perimeter because hes a good passer. He sees the game. I think he helps our perimeter guys get better shots because of his playmaking, passing and rolling, rolling to the weak side. ... Al-Farouq Aminu (left calf) and Festus Ezeli (left knee) were inactive.Nets: Coach Kenny Atkinson left the door open for former No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett to have an expanded role going forward. That was a pleasant surprise to see Anthony come in and help us out. Well keep looking at it. Were going to keep looking at our rotations and, really, we want to give guys opportunity. When we see something in practice, when we see another guy might need a rest, I think were always looking at giving our guys opportunities. Yes, youll see him and other guys thrown in there at times. ... Jeremy Lin (strained left hamstring) and Caris LeVert (left foot rehab) were inactive.LIN RETURN?Jeremy is progressing well, Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. I cant give you a timetable or an update in terms of a specific day hes back. I just think hes progressing on schedule.UP NEXTTrail Blazers: Visit New York on Tuesday night.
