Unable to avoid smiling upon being immediately asked if the yards-after-catch aspect of his game was something he wanted to further display ahead of Week 7, Tee Higgins’ response was both simple, and tried-and-true: take what the defense gives. Likely appreciating what the opposition gave in the third quarter — man-to-man coverage alongside a free release — the Bengals star wideout took full advantage, speeding into his slant route and housing it for a 25-yard catch-and-run touchdown. Finding his impact on Cincinnati’s offense underscored through his on-off numbers, Higgins’ big-play ability encouraged a must-have 21-14 win over the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 20, 2024, with Higgins himself supplying a four-catch, 82-yard, one-score afternoon.
