Sale slumped to a 12th successive defeat in top-flight European competition as their Champions Cup campaign suffered an immediate setback at Parc-y-Scarlets.The Sharks, without a European Cup win since they beat Cardiff Blues two years ago, were sent on their way by first-half tries from Scarlets scrum-half Gareth Davies and wing DTH van der Merwe.And Van der Merwes second touchdown after 57 minutes ended the contest, with Scarlets fly-half Rhys Patchell adding three penalties and two conversions to underpin a comfortable win before next Saturdays daunting assignment against Pool Three favourites Saracens in north London.Hooker Neil Briggs claimed a try for the visitors, with fly-half Dan Mugford adding two penalties, but in a group that also includes European heavyweights Saracens and Toulon, Sale already look as if they will be making up the numbers.The Sharks host Toulon in six days time, with the French side on the rebound following their home defeat against opening opponents Saracens, so another tough encounter beckons.Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac fielded a side containing 11 internationals, with his resources bolstered by returning trio Jonathan Davies, Jake Ball and John Barclay, while Sale showed three changes from last weeks heavy defeat against Bath as Mugford, full-back Mike Haley and prop Ross Harrison all started.Mugford kicked Sale into a third-minute lead, but the Scarlets responded with a 13-point scoring burst in six minutes as they made their presence felt.A Patchell penalty put them level, then Davies charged down Mugfords attempted clearance from just inside his own 22 and gathered the bounce to score, before Patchell converted and then kicked another penalty to leave Sale 13-3 behind.Patchell then landed a long-range penalty, leaving Sale in considerable trouble early on, but they responded from their first attack as the forwards laid an imposing platform and Briggs stormed through a gap to touch down and reduce the deficit.But the Scarlets continued to dominate territory and possession, and it came as no surprise when they extended their lead following more superb work by Wales number nine Davies.He made initial headway with a searing burst, before his half-back partner Patchell kicked brilliantly towards the right wing, and Canada international Van der Merwe gathered and finished in one movement to restore a 13-point advantage.Mugford applied the final scoring act of a lively opening period when he kicked a penalty just before the break, but the Scarlets were good value for a 21-11 interval advantage.And Sale did not help their cause when they were temporarily reduced to 14 men just eight minutes after the restart when a reckless tackle by Harrison on Scarlets skipper Ken Owens resulted in French referee Romain Poite sin-binning the prop.Van der Merwes second try sealed the deal, and Sale then collected a second yellow card, this time for substitute Andrei Ostrikov following a high tackle, which left the closing 15 minutes all about whether or not the Scarlets could claim a bonus point.It did not materialise, though, which was the only blot for them on an otherwise strong nights work that at least puts them in contention alongside Saracens and Toulon at this early stage.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Dealing with several injuries, the Chicago Bears have already had plenty of issues this season.Yet one more was added to the list.At 2-9 heading into Sundays home game with the San Francisco 49ers, the Bears learned Monday that linebacker Danny Trevathan will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured right patellar tendon.The Bears also have a problem catching the ball. Receivers called it embarrassing after they dropped 10 passes in Sundays 27-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans.I guess its just coincidence, wide receiver Deonte Thompson said. This group doesnt drop balls. That was the first time we ever came out and performed like that.Wide receivers Deonte Thompson and Marquess Wilson and running back Jordan Howard all dropped passes, but the most painful for the Bears was the one by wide receiver Josh Bellamy. He dropped it in the end zone with less than a minute remaining when it could have led to a win.I think its just a matter of being out there more, coach John Fox said.The Bears used an all-backup group of receivers with wide receiver Alshon Jeffery suspended, wide receiver Kevin White and tight end Zach Miller both on injured reserve.Quarterback Matt Barkley made his first NFL start after joining the team at the start of the regular season and led a fourth-quarter comeback from a 27-7 deficit.I think Marquess Wilson, it was his second game of the season, Fox said. He hasnt been playing football for months and months.Like everything, if it doesnt go real well, the more you do it, the better you get. I think those game conditions are a little bit different from practice. A lot of those guys probably played more in this game than they had all season.Fox suggested dropped passes can become more a mental problem than physical.I think everything we do is mental, Fox said. The reality is were in a performance-based business. Weve got to get better at performing and executing in game situations.Fox had a more posittive analysis for his new quarterback.ddddddddddddBarkley, replacing the injured Jay Cutler, threw 54 times, the third-highest attempt total by a Bears quarterback. He completed 28 of 54 for 316 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.The Bears three touchdowns were more than they scored in any game this season.Couple throws hed like to have back, couple things in protection we might have changed, but all in all I thought he operated pretty good, Fox said. Not an ideal situation, down 21-7 and we had to throw it a lot to get back into it.All-in-all I thought it was a pretty good first outing.The Bears latest injury affects their defense in several ways.Trevathan, who signed as a free agent after winning the Super Bowl with Denver, was one of the veteran leaders on a relatively inexperienced defense and an effective tackler.It was a semi-contact injury, kind of behind the ball, Fox said. He planted wrong and the injury occurred.Hell fight back, hes been through it before, had a similar injury a couple years ago that he worked through. And hell do the same off of this one.The Bears have 15 players on injured reserve, although its possible White or cornerback Kyle Fuller could come off the list this season.Teams with losing records usually look to evaluate young players late in the season, but the injuries change this for the Bears.Id like to say that were going to play young guys, but we already are, Fox said.Linebacker Willie Young looked for something positive.I really feel that this year, with all of the young guys that we have, and even guys coming from winning organizations who are not familiar with dealing with adversity like such, I really think its going to help and build us as a team in the future, Young said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
