Cardinals 35,
Bengals 27
CINCINNATI - Antrel Rolle did a cartwheel and a backflip after his second interception return for a touchdown threw the Cincinnati Bengals for a loop. He still had one more play and one more celebration left.
The highly drafted cornerback returned interceptions 55 and 54 yards for touchdowns, leading the Arizona Cardinals to a victory that got them back to break-even and kept them in the NFC West race.
Rolle finished it off with his third interception in the closing minutes. He ran Carson Palmer's career-high fourth interception back 71 yards.
