Bengals defensive back Vonn Bell moved into a tie for the National Football League lead in interceptions this season with four when he picked off Cleveland Browns receiver Amari Cooper's first NFL pass attempt on a failed trick play during the first quarter of Cincinnati's Monday Night Football loss in Cleveland.

"We like to leave that to the quarterbacks for the most part," ESPN analyst Troy Aikman joked about Cooper's pass, which was right to Bell. Cooper told reporters after the game that he was trying to throw the ball away.

"Just stick to playing receiver, Amari," Peyton Manning said during ESPN2's Manningcast.

Bell entered the season with just two career interceptions in his first six NFL seasons. He had one interception in 2021, his first season with the Bengals.
