LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- After playing half a game of solid football for the third straight week, the Chicago Bears are searching for a way to play the full 60 minutes.Doing it with a lineup that fluctuates almost daily because of injuries is the tricky part for Chicago after its second straight 0-3 start.Really, in all three phases, I think theres been some positives, coach John Fox said. I dont think weve put a complete game together by any stretch. I think thats evident. Whether its the run game, the run defense, the pass game, the pass defense, obviously none of its been good enough.No 0-3 team has made the playoffs since 1998, and the Bears are talking more about improvement than becoming a playoff team as they prepare to host Detroit on Sunday.Playing against Dallas without quarterback Jay Cutler (thumb sprain), the Bears started veteran Brian Hoyer and fell behind 24-3 by halftime. They outscored Dallas in the second half of a 31-17 defeat.It was the second straight lopsided loss in a prime-time game for the Bears, who fell Sept. 19 to Philadelphia 29-14.You cant continue to not play well and, for lack of a better word, be embarrassed on national TV, tight end Zach Miller said. But I felt like coming out in the second half, its there. Everybody played hard and continued to fight until the whistle blew.Injuries have been factors in the inconsistent play, and not just Cutlers. A patchwork offensive line and now a nicked-up running backs corps have made the running game spotty.Everybody has to elevate their play and be better for the entire team, Miller said. Thats professional football and how it goes.Third running back Jordan Howard took over after an ankle injury to starter Jeremy Langford and gained 45 yards on nine carries, but that highlighted the ground attack. Fox wouldnt commit to Howard for Sundays game at Soldier Field, but might not have much choice with second running back KaDeem Carey plagued by a hamstring.The Bears on Sunday had to activate Raheem Mostert after signing him to the practice squad last week. Fox acknowledged Mostert isnt exactly a household name here in Chicago.The injury problem has been more apparent on defense.Safety Harold Jones-Quartey suffered a concussion Sunday and is in the concussion protocol. Safety Adrian Amos had just returned from a concussion for the game with Dallas.Linebacker Danny Trevathan (thumb), nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle) and cornerback Kyle Fuller (knee) remain out. Fuller hasnt played since August.Weve got a couple five-star guys down, linebacker Jerrell Freeman said. But guys have to come in, step up.I kind of take it personal when the young guys come in and they mess up or something and Im out there. Ive got to take that personal. I feel like thats on me, too. Getting those guys ready, getting them comfortable, Ive got to take responsibility.While the defense struggled against the run, it also had problems stopping two straight rookie quarterbacks in Philadelphias Carson Wentz and Dallas Dak Prescott.The defense also gave up 199 rushing yards to Dallas.Teams have been doing a really good job with the young quarterbacks and simplifying the game plans for them, the last two weeks for us, in particular, getting the ball out fairly quick, linebacker Willie Young said. In some situations we need to get the rush working with the coverage, and vice-versa.When you look at it, they (the Cowboys) rushed for 200 yards. We have to control the running game first before we can have fun in the backfield.Game notes The Bears signed offensive lineman Colin Kelly to the practice squad Monday and terminated the practice squad contract of Jason Weaver. Kelly was with Kansas City in 2013-14 and San Francisco in 2016 without seeing action in the regular season.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike China Jerseys .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

ROME -- After all the hype about Pep Guardiola returning to face his former club, Lionel Messi made sure it was no contest.Messi scored a hat trick to deal a humbling defeat to his former mentor on Wednesday, leading Barcelona to an emphatic 4-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League.Messi sped through Citys defense and around former Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo before giving the hosts the 17th-minute lead in a Group C match that both teams finished with 10 men.It only got worse for Bravo, who was sent off in the second half for using his hands to block a shot outside the area after his poor pass gifted the ball to Luis Suarez.Messi struck again in the 61st and 69th to take his total to 89 goals in Europes top club competition. The Argentina forward is second only to Cristiano Ronaldos 98.Barcelonas substitute defender Jeremy Mathieu was sent off in the 73rd minute for a second yellow card.Neymar rounded off the win from a pass by Messi, moments after the Brazil striker had missed a penalty that Messi had earned.Guardiola lost for the second time upon returning to Camp Nou where he established himself as one of the worlds top managers by leading Barcelona to 14 titles from 2008-12. The former Barcelona midfielder coached Bayern Munich when the German side lost 3-0 at the Catalan side in the Champions League semifinals two years ago, when Messi scored twice.Barcelona leads Group C with a perfect nine points, City has four and Borussia Moenchengladbach three after its 2-0 win at last-place Celtic, which has one point.Heres a look at what else happened in the Champions League on Wednesday:---GROUP AMesut Ozil fired a second-half hat trick as Arsenal took a big step toward the knockout stage with a 6-0 rout of Bulgarian champion Ludogorets.The north London side, which is now unbeaten since the opening game of the season two months ago, tops the group with seven points.Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had put Arsenal up 3-0 before Ozil took over.Paris Saint-Germain also has seven points after its 3-0 home win over Basel, which is level on one point with Ludogorets.Angel Di Maria ended his goal drought at just the right moment and striker Edinson Cavani continued his scoring streak as PSG overcame a poor start at the Parc des Princes.Having gone 17 games without a goal for club and country, Di Maria pounced five minutes before halftime and Brazilian winger Lucas slotted in his seventh ggoal of the season in the 62nd before Cavani added a late penalty.dddddddddddd---GROUP BVincent Aboubakar scored twice as Besiktas beat Napoli 3-2 to deny the Italian club a chance of advancing from the group stage in record time.Aboubakar, a Cameroon international on loan from Porto, scored the winner four minutes from time after having also restored Besiktas lead late in the first half.It was the Turkish sides first win in the competition since 2009.If Napoli had won, it could have become the first team in Champions League history to advance from its group after just three matches.Now, Napoli has just a one-point lead over Besiktas, with Benfica two points back after its 2-0 win at Dynamo Kiev.After Adrianos opener for Besiktas, Dries Mertens and Manolo Gabbiadini scored temporary equalizers for Napoli.In Kiev, Eduardo Salvio converted a penalty and Franco Servi also scored in Benficas first win of the campaign.---GROUP CIn Glasgow, Borussia Moenchengladbach capitalized on two defensive errors by Kolo Toure to beat Celtic 2-0, earning the German team its first points.Toures first error came when he tried to shepherd the ball over the byline for a goal kick in the 57th. Andre Hahn wrapped his foot around the defender and hooked the ball back into the area, where Lars Stindl drove a shot through goalkeeper Craig Gordons legs from an acute angle.Hahn doubled the lead in the 77th after Toures pass near the halfway line was intercepted. Hahn sprinted through the middle and toe-poked a finish high into the net from just inside the area, just as Toure got back to attempt a lunging tackle.---GROUP DBayern Munich dispelled any doubts about its commitment by ending a three-match winless run with a comfortable 4-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven.Thomas Mueller opened the scoring in the 13th, Joshua Kimmich doubled the lead in the 21st, before Luciano Narsingh pulled one back for the visitors.Robert Lewandowski scored in the 59th, just as PSV seemed to be making a comeback and Arjen Robben provided the insurance in the 84th.Bayern has six points, three behind group leader Atletico Madrid, which won 1-0 in Rostov. PSV and FC Rostov have one point each.In Rostov, Yannick Ferreira Carrasco fired in the winner shortly after the hour mark for Atletico, last seasons runner-up.---Joseph Wilson in Barcelona contributed.
