When Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai caught a pass by Atlanta Falcons (and former Cincinnati Bearcats) quarterback Desmond Ridder that had been batted into the air by Bengals defensive back Mike Hilton , Ossai had his first interception since his sophomore year with the Texas Longhorns .
Ossai , a third-round pick of the Bengals in 2021 who played in 16 regular-season games and three playoff games last season as a rookie, picked off LSU's quarterback during the Tigers' 45-38 win against Texas in 2019 , slightly tainting an otherwise remarkable performance by - you guessed it - Joe Burrow .
