CINCINNATI - Antrel Rolle did a cartwheel and a backflip after his second interception return for a touchdown threw the Cincinnati Bengals (3-7) for a loop. He still had one more play and one more celebration left.

The highly drafted cornerback out of Miami returned interceptions 55 and 54 yards for touchdowns Sunday, leading Arizona (5-5) to a win that got it back to break-even and kept it 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, but the apparent touchdown was nullified by a blocking penalty on the return.
