They're 2? games behind Baltimore (6-5) and Pittsburgh (6-5) with only five left.

And it wasn't only the passing game that involved struggles by Bengals blockers. Cincinnati rushed for only 64 yards — 14 by Dalton — as the latest chapter in a season-long problem. With no running game to worry them, the Ravens were able to get after Dalton.
"Missed PATs, those are things that affect the football team, affect us and our opportunity," Lewis said. "But you know, we are where we are."
When they scored their only touchdown, Nugent missed the extra point wide right, the fourth time he's missed a point-after-touchdown try in four games. Lewis reiterated on Monday that the Bengals have no plans to bring in another kicker for a tryout.
"Those things happen very,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, very rarely," offensive coordinator Ken Zampese said on Monday. "I mean, this was the first time that came up, it came up in a big way, and it ended up hurting us, so here we are talking about it."
The game in Baltimore was in some ways their worst yet at protecting the quarterback.
"We know some things have to break our way now," coach Marvin Lewis said on Monday .
And the Bengals lost yet another game in throwback fashion, making every sort of mistake.
Dalton had four fumbles, losing two of them. The most costly came on a play from the Baltimore 16-yard line in the first half. Dalton was changing the play at the line of scrimmage when center Russell Bodine snapped the ball, causing the turnover.
The defending AFC North champs would have to run the table, and the Ravens and Steelers both would have to have meltdowns for the Bengals to reach the playoffs.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton's most important passes didn't even make it past the line of scrimmage. Mike Nugent missed another extra point.
Three times in the second half, Dalton was sacked and fumbled. The last one came when the Bengals were driving for a potential tying touchdown in the closing minutes. Dalton was sacked by Elvis Dumervil and fumbled, allowing the Ravens to close it out with a safety that ran out the clock.
Even when they're not getting to Dalton, defenders are making it tough on him. Four of Dalton's last eight passes were batted down at the line as the Ravens set their defense to take away the downfield throw and focused on knocking down the short ones.
Also, they know they haven't played well enough at any point this season to consider themselves playoff-worthy.
They know the odds of that happening aren't good at all. The Bengals have reached the playoffs a club-record five consecutive seasons, and that streak is about to get snapped.
"To calm the troops a little bit," Lewis said.
