Talib and Hill produce 7-7 tie early

CINCINNATI - Both sides have scored touchdowns on one play drives Monday night.

Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib intercepted Andy Dalton and returned 33 yards for a touchdown and Bengals back Jeremy Hill raced 85 yards for a score as Denver and Cincinnati are tied 7-7 early.

Dalton had A.J. Green open on a crossing route, but put the ball far above his head and into the arms of Talib, who scrambled through traffic for the score.

Green was injured on the play when T.J. Ward drove his helmet into the receiver's right arm, which he left the field holding.

But Hill would respond 23 seconds later on the home side's succeeding possession, powering over the right side and outracing the misdirected coverage to bring the Bengals on the board.

Peyton Manning is 1-of-2 for 21 yards for Denver, who has clinched a postseason berth.

Cincinnati will host Pittsburgh for each team's season finale to determine a playoff position from the AFC North.
