BALTIMORE -- The Cincinnati Bengals had just lost another game they had to win. Alan Page Youth Jersey . The reality of their situation was apparent as a stone-faced Marvin Lewis shuffled at the front of a line of sullen players heading to the locker room.Sundays 19-14 loss to Baltimore left the Bengals (3-7-1) to ponder this: To extend their run of five straight postseason appearances, winning out might not be enough.As I told our guys, now we need help, Lewis said. Its not done. We obviously have to do our end now -- and thats win the last five ballgames if we have any chance to go to the playoffs.The Bengals are wounded, down and just about out. Playing their first full game without injured offensive stars Giovani Bernard and A.J. Green, the Bengals fell into a 16-3 hole at halftime and never recovered.Andy Dalton was harassed for much of the day, in part because he didnt have a running game to back him up (64 yards rushing on 20 attempts). Dalton was sacked three times, lost two fumbles and had numerous balls batted down at the line of scrimmage.I dont know how many they tipped at the end. It can be frustrating, Dalton said. My guess is they werent rushing as much, just putting their hands up. . Its just the nature of having to throw the ball.With Green out, Dalton completed passes to nine different players. Only one of those throws went for a score.I thought we moved the ball really well, he said. We were close. Very close. It felt like a typical game against Baltimore, coming down to the end where we had a chance to win or tie it up.It turned out to be just another loss in an injury-marred, disappointing season. The Bengals have won only once since Sept. 29 and are 0-3-1 in their last four. And that is why they now stand on the brink of elimination.We got to find a way to turn it around, try and find a way to win one game at this point, Dalton said. One game, then it can carry over to two. We got to change it.To their credit, the Bengals made a run after falling behind 19-9 with 12:16 remaining. A field goal cut the gap to a touchdown, and Dalton took the offense to the Baltimore 16 before a third-down fumble ended the comeback bid.Thanks to a safety from Baltimore on the final play of the game, the Bengals scored five points in the fourth quarter -- one more than their average. Thats another thing that has to change if Cincinnati is to make a run at the postseason.We had something going there in the final drive in the fourth quarter but we didnt finish it off, running back Rex Burkhead said. Were disappointed, but were going to keep fighting. Thats what this team is made of -- high-character guys who are going to keep fighting.Whether or not Green returns from a hamstring injury next week to face Philadelphia, the Bengals wont feel sorry for themselves.Thats why each and every one of us is in the NFL, said receiver James Wright, who had three catches for 23 yards. We all have talent. We just have to put it together and come together as a group and make plays.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.

Walcott is available for Saturdays home match against Southampton as Arsenal looks to extend its two-point lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team. Former England number eight Nick Easter has ended his playing career in order to concentrate on his new post as Harlequins defence coach.Easter had planned to be available for selection by the Aviva Premiership club next season, but has since decided his transition to a tracksuit role will be better served if it is full-time.The 37-year-old played his first professional match at Orrell in 2001 and he went on to make 281 appearances across 20,627 minutes of rugby after joining Quins three years later.Having accepted the opportunity to become a coach-player by [director of rugby] John Kingston, I took some time to think about my career, Easter said.I realised that whether Im playing or coaching, there was no possible way that I would be able to give 100 percent to both of my roles at the same time.I thought, why not grab the opportunity of becoming a coach with both hands, give it my best shot and feel privileged to be in a position to go out on my own terms after 12 great years as a player for Harlequins?Im a few weeks into my role now and Im thoroughly enjoying it. Having had five weeks in the off-season to finalise it and four weeks now as a coach, I dont regret my decision. I cant wait for the new season to begin.In an interview with The Times on Thursday, Easter admitted he struggled for motivation to play towards the end of last season and highlighted the individual agendas and lack of hunger that have held Quins back since they won the Premiership title in 2012.Easter, whose game was based on skill andd intelligence rather than all-out power, has been a key member of Harlequins back row and was similarly prominent for England between 2007 and 2011, making 54 appearances for his country.

He captained the Red Rose during that time and appeared at two World Cups, but was jettisoned by head coach Stuart Lancaster when Martin Johnsons successor took over five years ago.Lancaster cited Easters age as the reason for his international exile, but his irresistible form for Quins in the 2014-15 campaign led to his recall for last years RBS 6 Nations and he was an injury call-up for England 2015 -- his third World Cup.While stating he would never willingly retire from international rugby, he has not been on Eddie Jones radar and his playing days at Twickenham Stoop are now also over.Nick has been an unbelievable servant to the Harlequins team for over a decade, Kingston said.He has been at the very heartbeat of all the successes the side has achieved over this period.Nick has a fantastic rugby brain and it is for this reason I offered him the opportunity to join the new look coaching team at the Club.Both Nick and I have agreed it is in the best interests of Quins that he focuses on his coaching exclusively from now.While a Quins team without him may seem strange at first, his influence on the group will, if anything, be even greater in his new role as first XV defence coach.
