CINCINNATI -- The Bengals are looking up at the standings, something they havent had to do for two years.And the defending AFC North champions have some significant issues to fix in order to make up ground.They couldnt run the ball again during a 24-16 defeat in Pittsburgh on Sunday, the Bengals third loss in a row to their Ohio River rival.This one left them playing catch-up, something they havent had to do. Last season, they led the division the whole way after an 8-0 start.Two games in, Cincinnati (1-1) trails both the Steelers (2-0) and the Ravens (2-0) with the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos -- also 2-0 -- coming to town for the Bengals home opener on Sunday.One of their most glaring problems in the first two games was their inability to run. They managed only 57 yards -- a 3.0 average per carry -- during a 22-20 win at the Jets in their season opener.Andy Dalton was able to get them through it, completing all but three of his passes in the last three quarters.They were even worse on Sunday in Pittsburgh in the rain, managing only 46 yards for a 2.6-yard average. Through the first two games, their top running backs havent even combined on 100 yards total.Jeremy Hill has 53 yards on 20 carries. Giovani Bernard has 42 yards on 10 carries. Their longest run of the season is only 12 yards.They get to the line and go nowhere.Ive got to break more tackles, Bernard said on Monday. Ive got to make that guy miss. As a running back, you always try to not let that first one tackle me. I havent done that.Their inability to run was most glaring in the third quarter, when they drove for a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line. Hill lost 2 yards on a run up the middle, and Dalton threw a couple of incompletions, forcing Cincinnati to settle for a field goal.Dalton got sacked a career-high seven times in the opener. He was sacked only once in Pittsburgh, but the running game was no better.One of those things got fixed this week, offensive coordinator Ken Zampese said Monday, referring to the sacks. This coming week, well get the other one handled.Cincinnatis running game ranked second-to-last in the league after two games. Only Minnesota -- which lost Adrian Peterson to a knee injury on Sunday -- was worse.Game notesCoach Marvin Lewis explained his decision not to challenge a call that C.J. Uzomah was out of bounds on a catch at the back of the end zone. The tight ends knee landed right by the back line, and the officials ruled it was an incomplete pass. The replays were inconclusive.First lets clear one thing up: The coaches dont get a view like you guys think they get, Lewis said, referring to the various angles and stop-action views. Thats such a fallacy of TV, of what they get upstairs. They dont get them. Then its immediate, weve got to go to the next play.The Bengals thought that receiver Tyler Boyds fumble that essentially ended the game should have been reversed. After a review, the officials upheld the call. The Bengals thought he fumbled after he was down.Everybody on the field thought the opposite, and it didnt work that way, Lewis said.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFLCheap Nike Jerseys . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way.

After breaking from the outside post 8, Tepin ($2.90) took up the chase in fourth on the backstretch. She made a three-wide bid into contention on the turn, hit the front early in the stretch, and then opened up a daylight lead before holding sway to prevail by a half-length, in a time of 1:34.13 over the good ground.Tower of Texas closed from sixth to edge out 3-1 second choice Mutakayyef.

She broke good, and relaxed. She was traveling well the whole way. I could do whatever I wanted. I sat on the outside, and just waited to make a kick aat the end.dddddddddddd She got a bit tired at the end, but we expected that. I think shes going to get better, fitter, after this race. She had been off for three months. No matter how many times you breeze her, a race is a race. Thats how you get fit. It was a race to help her get ready for the next one.Norm Casse, assistant and son of trainer Mark Casse, said Tepin will run back at Keeneland on Oct. 8 in either the Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile or the Grade 1 First Lady, whichever one is easier. That will be her final prep for the Breeders Cup Mile in November at Santa Anita, which she won last year when it was staged at Keeneland.Shell go to Churchill, said Norm Casse. If we waited until the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita, wed have to breeze her over and over on the main track at Churchill, and I dont know if were really 100 percent comfortable with that. Its better when she runs all the time. Shell probably come back and have an easy work. Well pick out a race at Keeneland, and shell be ready to go.Tepin earned $600,000, and the 5-year-old daughter of Bernstein has won 13 of 21 starts. ' ' '
