CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Even when Andy Dalton is mixing interceptions and touchdowns, the Bengals somehow find a way to win at home. And thats the best thing the AFC North champions take with them into the post-season. Their next game will be at Paul Brown Stadium, where the Bengals are still perfect. Dalton threw for two touchdowns, ran for another and set a pair of Bengals passing records on Sunday, leading Cincinnati to a 34-17 victory that eliminated the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals (11-5) are 8-0 at home and will host San Diego in a playoff game next Sunday. They beat the Chargers 17-10 in San Diego on Dec. 1. Cincinnati wound up with the No. 3 seed when New England beat Buffalo 34-20 later Sunday to clinch the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. "Were playing with a lot of confidence right now," said Dalton, who was 21 of 36 for 281 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions. "The last couple of years we played on the road. For us to have a home game here, itll be a great environment. "Were ready for the playoffs to start." The Ravens (8-8) lost their last two games, denying them a chance to make the playoffs for a sixth straight season. They couldnt avoid the Super Bowl slump thats so common. The Ravens became the 15th Super Bowl champ that failed to reach the playoffs the following season, and the sixth in the last 12 years. Their running game fell apart, the offence had to settle for field goals, and the defence missed Ray Lewis inspiration in the big moments. "Thats it," coach John Harbaugh said. "That ends it. That stings." In Cincinnati, theres only one thing in mind: win a playoff game for the first time since the 1990 season. The Bengals lost opening-round games in Houston each of the last two seasons, leaving them tied for the seventh-longest stretch of playoff futility in NFL history. This time, theyll be playing at home, where theyve scored 49, 41, 42, 42 and 34 points in their last five games. "If we have to play next week or we have to play in two weeks, this team is going to carry this swagger and attitude into the playoffs," offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "If we continue to put up 30-plus points a game and continue playing defence the way we are, well have a chance to make a lot of noise." Most of the focus will be on Dalton, who had two horrid games in the playoffs. He put together one of the best seasons by a Bengals quarterback, breaking Carson Palmers club records for touchdown passes and yards passing on Sunday. Dalton threw interceptions on Cincinnatis first two possessions, then regrouped. He threw a 53-yard pass to A.J. Green, who got behind a defence that went for a fake handoff. Marvin Jones made a one-hand, diving catch in the end zone for a 16-yard score just before halftime. Daltons 33rd TD pass surpassed Palmers club record from 2005. He finished 21 of 36 for 281 yards, breaking Palmers club record for yards passing in a season with 4,296. After the Ravens tied it 17-all in the third quarter, Dalton led a 90-yard drive that ended with his 1-yard touchdown run. "He just keeps being Andy," coach Marvin Lewis said. "He just keeps playing." All too often this season, the Ravens settled for field goals when they got close to the goal line. They did it again on Sunday, managing only three field goals off Daltons first three three interceptions. Justin Tucker was good from 38, 22 and 34 yards, giving him a club record of 38 field goals. The Ravens took advantage of Shawn Powells 10-yard shanked punt and evened it 17-all in the third quarter. Flacco threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Marlon Brown, and Ray Rice ran for the 2-point conversion. Dre Kirkpatrick had two interceptions in the fourth quarter that sealed it, including a 21-yard return for a touchdown. Flacco, playing his second game on a sprained left knee, was 30 of 50 for 192 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. Notes: Flacco threw for a career-high 3,912 yards this season. ... Browns TD catch tied Torrey Smiths club record of 7 TDs by a rookie. ... Rice set a club record for total yards from scrimmage with 9,214 career. ... The Bengals played without TEs Jermaine Gresham (hamstring) and rookie Tyler Eiffert (neck). ... The Bengals had to reconfigure their offensive line again when C Kyle Cook suffered a foot injury and tackles Anthony Collins and Whitworth hurt ankles. X-rays on Cook were negative. ...

How could they go from a 5-0 lead with a season-high 14 hits only to be losing again? "He could tell, all of us with our heads down, frustrated," Bartlett said. BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Lewis Hamilton broke his drought on a swelteringly hot Sunday, winning the Hungarian Grand Prix to match Michael Schumachers track record of four wins. Not that the Mercedes driver expected to win his first race since the United States GP last November, saying beforehand he would need "a miracle" despite qualifying in pole position for the third time in a row. "I was hungry for it today," Hamilton said. "I was going for every move I could." Hamilton beat Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus by 10.9 seconds and finished 12.4 ahead of Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel, who still moved further ahead in his quest for a fourth straight Formula One title. Mercedes has been quick in qualifying all season but has struggled with its tires during race day. However, they held up on a Hungaroring circuit in which temperatures reached 51 degrees Celsius (123 Fahrenheit). "Weve got to keep working hard," Hamilton said. "But if we can come here and make them last (then) anything is possible." Equaling one famed drivers record drew praise from another. "He drove sensationally, the best Ive ever seen him drive," said non-executive Mercedes chairman Niki Lauda, a three-time F1 champion. "We were not as quick as the Red Bull, but Lewis made it all up with the way he passed people." Vettel was frustrated at failing to overtake Raikkonen late in the race. "I would have loved the race to have been a bit longer," Vettel said. "I got close but I wasnt in the prime overtaking spot at that point." Vettel headed into the weekend 34 points clear at the top and added four more to his lead as the race enters its mid-season break. The next race is the Belgium GP on Aug. 25. The German has 172 points, 38 in front of Raikkonen and 39 ahead of Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso, who finished fifth to slip behind Raikkonen overall. Hamilton has 124 to sit fourth. Alonso was referred to race stewards for using his DRS system -- a strictly controlled device that helps overtaking -- on three occasions when he was not allowed to. He kept his points but Ferrari was fined (euro)15,000 ($19,910). Hamilton managed his tires wisely to earn his 22nd win. Coming into the race, he had been third three times. But he also won from pole in Hungary last year, and he kissed his Mercedes car and hugged team boss Ross Brawn following Sundays victory.dddddddddddd "We were on the back foot when we came in," Hamilton said. "I feel like I really earned my keep today." The Briton was in no mood for compromise during the race, snapping at an engineer over the race radio after receiving some late advice: "Hey man, Im trying to drive here. Im happy with the way the car is." Meanwhile, teammate Nico Rosberg had to withdraw near the end with flames billowing from the back of his car. He was unhurt. Vettel has four wins overall, having won the German GP three weeks ago, but his tire option didnt work out. "The start was difficult, and when Lewis pulled in we thought we could do it on the softs," Vettel said. "I damaged my front wing, which did not help. We wanted a little bit more today." He tried desperately to get past Raikkonen, and they almost collided on the next-to-last lap. Vettel thought the Finn should have given him more room. "I told him but he was laughing," Vettel said. Meanwhile, the pressure was on tire manufacturer Pirelli. The teams recently held in-season testing sessions at Silverstone to assess new tires provided by Pirelli, after several spectacular blowouts on the same circuit at the British GP in June prompted a boycott threat from drivers. Pirelli decided that from this race until the end of the season it will revert to last years tires combined with the current compounds from this season. "The first time ever I can remember my tires not being a problem," Hamilton said. With 14 corners and short straights, the Hungaroring is the second most difficult track for overtaking after Monaco -- although it has a long run down to Turn 1. Hamilton held his racing line perfectly on it to get an early boost. Lotus driver Romain Grosjean, who started third and finished sixth, tried to pass inside Vettel before the first turn, but the German moved to the right. Rosberg went wide on Turn 5 and onto the grass, and then shortly after nudged into Felipe Massas Ferrari to dislodge the Brazilians front wing. Staying out longer on medium-compound tires, Button blocked Vettel to allow Hamilton to streak ahead. Grosjean was given a drive-through penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, while an earlier collision with Button saw him receive a 20-second time penalty. It made no difference to the race positions. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
