Ex-Steeler Mike Hilton picks off Ben Roethlisberger, races 24 yards for Bengals touchdown

CINCINNATI -- Sunday's game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers featured interceptions on consecutive plays.

The first started a scuffle on the field. The second one turned the game into a bigger blowout.

Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton picked off Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and returned it for a 24-yard touchdown to give the Bengals a 31-3 lead right before halftime.

Hilton, who was with the Steelers before this season, high-stepped into the end zone as the bench exploded to cap an emotionally-charged sequence.

One play earlier, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was intercepted by Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
