Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Mike Hilton was assessed a 16-yard penalty for defensive pass interference on a 3rd-and-5 pass from Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett to receiver George Pickens during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 11 win in Pittsburgh.
The call helped sustain the Steelers' second touchdown drive of the second quarter. CBS color analyst Adam Archuleta didn't think Hilton should have been penalized.
"Didn't look like much - looked like there was a little bit of hand fighting," Archuleta said during CBS' broadcast. "The rule says 'significantly impede the receiver.' From that angle, it didn't look like there was much there to warrant the flag."
The Steelers led 20-17 at the half.
