CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Bengals coach Marvin Lewis agreed to a two-year contract extension through the 2014 season on Tuesday, giving him more chances to pursue the elusive goal of winning a playoff game. Lewis already holds the club record for tenure as a head coach, entering his 10th season. Owner Mike Brown offered the extension even though the Bengals (No. 14 in the AP Pro32) are 69-74-1 under Lewis with only three winning records and an 0-3 mark in the playoffs. Asked if he would still be head coach if he were the owner, Lewis laughed. "Probably not," he said. Lewis works for an owner who isnt inclined to change. Brown prefers to stay the course rather than try something significantly different, one of the obstacles that Lewis has had to overcome during his time in Cincinnati. When he arrived in 2003, the Bengals were in the midst of one of the worst streaks of futility in league history -- no winning record since 1990. They broke the streak by reaching the playoffs in 2005, only to lose to Pittsburgh in a first-round playoff game when quarterback Carson Palmer tore up his knee. They reached the playoff again in 2009, then lost to the Jets. They made the playoffs as a wild card last season with a 9-7 mark and lost to Houston. Although the team has been more competitive under Lewis, it still hasnt won a playoff game since 1990. "Its gratifying, obviously, to have that opportunity to be in place here now for 12 seasons," Lewis said. "But at the end of the line there is one thing that hangs over your head, and youve got to do that, and thats to win a championship." Lewis is third in the NFL in current tenure with one team, behind Philadelphias Andy Reid and New Englands Bill Belichick. By agreeing to an extension before the start of the season, Lewis eliminated the uncertainty that hung over the franchise in 2010. The Bengals finished 4-12 that year, the last on Lewis previous deal. He decided to play it out rather than accept an extension, looking to see if ownership would make some changes before he decided whether to stay. After two days of talks at the end of the season, he agreed to a two-year deal even though Brown said there would be no significant changes. For instance, Cincinnati is still the only northern NFL team without a covered practice field. Lewis likes the way the front office has changed over the years. A team once known for acquiring players who didnt fit their system has been much better at acquiring those who fit the system. "Obviously weve gotten better since I first walked in this room in January 2003," Lewis said. "Theres been an evolution. I think everybody who ever walks out on that practice field -- talking about visiting coaches and so forth -- theyve talked about that. "This is a very good-looking football team. Its big and its fast. Thats kind of a metamorphosis from where we started. Its something the organization ought to be very, very proud of, that we really have converted into what an NFL team looks like in size and girth and speed and length, the things you want to have in order to be successful."

SAN DIEGO -- Mat Latos was perfect through four innings and took a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Granted, it was against a Chicago Cubs lineup full of prospects in a matchup between teams that now each have 90 losses. Still, Latos had a strong finish to an uneven season as he pitched the San Diego Padres to a 2-0 win on Monday night. Latos struck out nine and allowed only two hits in seven innings. It was the third win in five September starts for Latos. Last year, he went winless in September as the Padres bumbled their way out of the NL West lead, missing the playoffs even though they finished with 90 wins. "I was 0-5 in September last year, so this is huge," Latos said. "It seems like earlier in the season it was like a roller coaster ride: up, down, up, down, round and round. To come back strong after the All-Star break and put up some good numbers and try to help the ballclub as much as possible, its big." It was the 16th time in his last 17 starts that Latos (9-14) allowed three or fewer runs. He allowed only two hits before Chad Qualls threw a perfect eighth and Heath Bell a perfect ninth for his 43rd save in 48 chances. It was the 10th shutout for the Padres and the 10th time the Cubs were shut out. Latos was perfect through four innings before issuing his only walk, to Carlos Pena leading off the fifth. Pena stole second but was stranded after Latos retired the side. Latos didnt allow his first hit until Cubs starter Casey Coleman tripled into the gap in right-centre with one out in the sixth. "Thats what happens when you hang a slider," Latos said. "It was just a bad pitch by me. If that pitch is in the dirt, he might swing over the top of it. Oh well. At least he didnt hit it over the fence. He didnt score, so no big deal." Latos then got a groundout and fly out to strand Coleman. Starlin Castro singled leading off the seventh and rreached third with two outs before Latos got Steve Clevenger to foul out.dddddddddddd In his previous start, Latos threw a season-high 8 2-3 innings in a 2-1 win at Colorado. "Those are really two good back-to-back games," manager Bud Black said. "I really like the way he finished the last starts or so. Very good, solid game tonight for Mat. It should give him great confidence going into next season. Last year was a whirlwind for him." San Diegos Will Venable homered to straightaway centre field leading off the sixth, his eighth. Jesus Guzman doubled with one out and scored on Cameron Maybins double, which chased Coleman. Casey Coleman (3-9) allowed two runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings, struck out seven and walked two. The Cubs started only three regulars. Of the other five position players who started, they had started only 93 combined games this season. There were three September callups, one August callup and Clevenger, the catcher, was making his big league debut. "Its kids day," Cubs manager Mike Quade laughed. "Latos is good and Bell is good and Qualls is good. Thats the varsity. Thats the kind of stuff you deal with up here. I wanted to see these guys against the varsity." NOTES: Like the Padres, the Cubs have 90 losses. ... Castro singled off Latos leading off the seventh to reach base safely in a career-high 38 straight games. ... Chicagos Rafael Dolis made his big league debut when he relieved Coleman with two outs in the sixth. He got Chase Headley to ground out. ... The series continues Tuesday night with Cubs righty Matt Garza (9-10, 3.35) facing San Diego rookie righty Anthony Bass (2-0, 1.66). Garza will look to extend his winning streak to season-high four games. In his last start, he threw the eighth complete game of his career and his second this season. Bass will be making his third career start. cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
