Jeremy Hill takes blame for Bengals' loss after late fumble
The penalties that set up the game-winning field goal were the big story in Saturday's thrilling wild-card clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, but the Steelers never would have been in position to win the game if not for a Bengals fumble moments earlier.
Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict appeared to seal the game with an interception after the two-minute warning, but running back Jeremy Hill gave the ball back to the Steelers with a fumble on the very next play:
