BENGALS CRUSH STEELERS

Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton, who played for the Steelers for his first four years, got his first pick-6 at any level of football against his former team late in the first half Sunday.

Hilton’s interception of Ben Roethlisberger put Cincinnati up 31-3 and seemed to serve as a symbolic turning point in the Steelers’ longtime domination of the Bengals and the AFC North.

“To do it against those guys in a big division game, it couldn’t be any sweeter,” Hilton said as his teammates shouted.

The 41-10 win by the Bengals (7-4) on Sunday followed a double-digit win in September, making it Cincinnati’s first season sweep of the Steelers since 2009.
