Bengals running back Jeremy Hill seemingly can't help himself when it comes to leaping into the stands after a touchdown in Cleveland.

Hill, who said earlier this week that he wasn't planning on repeating last year's jump into the Dawg Pound, apparently felt a faction of Bengals fans in the front row was a more welcoming environment for a return trip. Click here for video of said leap.

"The spur of the moment got the best of me," Hill said per Cleveland.com.

Last year, Hill was pushed back to the ground by Browns fans. This year, linebacker Christian Kirksey was waiting to greet Hill when he returned from his leap. He drew an unsportsmanlike conduct flag for jawing at Hill.

Kirksey said he was just "trying to protect the house" and told Hill not to do that, while Hill's account of the conversation was slightly less PG-rated.

"It was a little salty," Hill said. "Just his competitive nature . . . If someone did that in our place, I'm sure we wouldn't be too happy about it."
