CINCINNATI - With another horrid performance in prime time, the Bengals let it slip away.

Hooker Youth Jersey .The defending AFC North champions surrendered their
title — and the chance for a home playoff game — on Sunday night. Pittsburgh
came away with the division championship by beating the bumbling Bengals 27-17
at Heinz Field.Cincinnati (10-5-1) had to settle for a wild-card berth after
leading the division most of the season. The Bengals will play at Indianapolis
(11-5) on Sunday in the first round.It was a huge disappointment for a team that
hasnt won a playoff game since the 1990 season and has been at its worst in the
biggest games, such as the one on Sunday night.Andy Dalton threw two more
interceptions, and the defence allowed Ben Roethlisberger plenty of time to
throw — two very bad signs heading into the post-season.So last night was kind
of a warm-up, offensive co-ordinator Hue Jackson said on Monday. We kind of
didnt pass that test. But that one didnt count for what this one will count for,
so were lucky that way. But onto the next.Up next is a familiar foe that
provided some of the Bengals worst moments of the season.Cincinnati went to
Indianapolis on Oct. 19 and lost 27-0, the first time in five years that the
Bengals were shut out. They didnt even cross midfield until the fourth quarter
and finished with 135 total yards.Receiver A.J. Green was sidelined for the game
with an injured big right toe, and rookie Jeremy Hill hadnt yet been promoted to
a starting job, so the Bengals will be a bit different in the rematch.Oh, theres
a much different mindset, Jackson said. And there should be. There should be a
mindset that has some confidence.The Bengals have been knocked out of the
playoffs in the first round each of the past three seasons, with Dalton playing
some of his worst games. Its contributed to one of the worst stretches of
playoff futility in NFL history.Cincinnatis 23-year stretch without a playoff
win is tied for sixth-longest in league history. Marvin Lewis is 0-5 in the
playoffs; a loss on Sunday would tie him with Marty Schottenheimer, Jim Mora and
Steve Owen for most consecutive coaching losses in the playoffs.A loss also
would leave Lewis tied with Mora for most consecutive playoff losses to start a
career.And then theres Dalton, whose 0-3 mark in the playoffs leaves him one shy
of tying Warren Moon for most consecutive opening-round losses. Hes thrown for
one touchdown and six interceptions in the post-season with a passer rating of
56.2.No, we dont feel any more pressure, Dalton said on Monday. We understand
what were trying to accomplish. Its something that ever since I got here weve
been trying to do. Weve got a good test this week and a good opportunity to go
get our first (playoff) win.The Bengals also have never won a playoff game on
the road in their history.Even after a first-round loss at home to San Diego
last season, Lewis got an extra year added to his contract, which runs through
2015. And Dalton got a six-year deal in the off-season as well, so hes likely to
be around again, regardless of what happens in Indianapolis.With so much focus
on just getting one playoff win, Lewis is talking about a bigger picture —
winning a Super Bowl, which the Bengals have never accomplished. Theyre 0-2 in
title games.In my mind, theres a bigger one than this one, Lewis said.Notes:
Green is being evaluated for a concussion after a hard hit knocked him out of
the game on Sunday. Its unclear whether hell be available to practice later in
the week or to play on Sunday. ... Lewis said several players came out of the
game with minor injuries that shouldnt prevent them from playing in
Indianapolis. ... The Bengals went 5-2-1 at home and 5-3 on the road this
season. Theyre 3-7 all-time in Indianapolis, having dropped their past seven
games there since 1998.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and
