CINCINNATI, Ohio — Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins showcased his exceptional skills once again on Sunday, making a stunning 44-yard touchdown catch against the Chicago Bears at Paycor Stadium. This remarkable play came late in the second quarter and was pivotal in giving Cincinnati a 20-17 lead.
Higgins, who continues to build on his impressive track record, now holds the distinction of scoring a touchdown in nine consecutive home games. He also celebrated a career milestone by surpassing 5,000 receiving yards with this touchdown.
The 44-yard score mirrors his performance from the previous week when he recorded another lone 44-yard touchdown catch in a hard-fought 39-38 loss against the Jets. During that play, Higgins displayed his talent by skillfully pulling the ball away from Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright, maintaining his speed without missing a beat.
Higgins has now accumulated three receptions for 63 yards this season, tying him with teammate Ja’Marr Chase for the team lead in both categories. With each game, Higgins continues to prove himself as an essential player for the Bengals and a serious threat on the field. His consistent performances and ability to connect with the quarterback bode well for Cincinnati as they strive for success this season.
