DETROIT (AP) – Jeremy Hill ran for a 9-yard touchdown on Cincinnati’s first possession, and the Bengals went on to a 30-14 preseason victory over the Detroit Lions Thursday night. Hill hurt his left hand in Cincinnati’s preseason opener last week, but he had three carries for 16 yards against the Lions and also caught a pass. Former Cincinnati wide receiver Marvin Jones, signed by the Lions in the offseason, had four catches for 65 yards against his former team. Detroit’s Matthew Stafford was 8 of 11 for 113 yards, but the Lions went without a touchdown until the final minute of the game. There’s some uncertainty at the backup quarterback spot, with Dan Orlovsky doing little to inspire confidence when his interception was returned for a touchdown. Rookie Jake Rudock received a nice hand when he came on in the fourth quarter, but the University of Michigan product was also intercepted on just his third pass attempt. Cincinnati’s Derron Smith returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.
