From the Associated Press

Antrel Rolle did a cartwheel and a back flip 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 Arizona cornerback returned interceptions 55 and 54 yards for touchdowns, leading the Cardinals to a 35-27 victory that got them back to .500 and kept them in the NFC West race.

Rolle finished it with his third interception in the closing minutes. He ran back Carson Palmer’s career-high fourth intercepted pass 71 yards, but the apparent touchdown was nullified by an illegal blocking penalty.

After going through a three-game fade, Arizona (5-5) has rebounded by winning two in a row, matching its win total for each of the last two seasons.

Palmer completed 37 of 52 passes for 329 yards with two touchdowns for Cincinnati (3-7).

Quoteworthy: “It feels terrible, horrible. I felt like I let the team and the coaches and the organization and the fans down.” -- Carson Palmer, Bengals quarterback
