Joe Burrow Lauds Tee Higgins for Historic Bengals Achievement
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has reached a significant milestone in his career. He is now the third player in the franchise’s history to record back-to-back seasons with ten or more touchdown receptions. This achievement places him alongside notable players A.J. Green and Carl Pickens, who are the only other Bengals to reach this feat.
Historic Achievement for Tee Higgins
In a recent game against the Miami Dolphins, Higgins showcased his exceptional talent. He made critical catches, including a touchdown and a 35-yard reception, which helped Cincinnati secure a commanding 45-21 victory.
Following the game, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow expressed his admiration for Higgins. “Tee set the tone for the day,” Burrow remarked. “Those two big plays early changed their game plan. That’s why Tee is so valuable; he consistently makes impactful plays.”
Higgins’ Evolving Game
Burrow also highlighted what makes Higgins unique. “He’s big, long, strong, and physical. In his first year, he wasn’t making as many of those big plays. However, since 2021, he has become a vital offensive weapon.”
Contract Extension and Performance
In March, the Bengals secured Higgins with a four-year contract extension worth $115 million. Despite the team’s struggles this season, this investment in Higgins appears justified.
- Tee Higgins’ Touchdowns: Currently, he has ten touchdown receptions this season.
- NFL Rankings: His ten touchdowns rank third in the league, trailing only Davante Adams (14) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (11).
As the Bengals continue their campaign, Higgins’ contributions will remain crucial to their success. His remarkable skills not only bring strength to the field but also inspire confidence within the team’s dynamics.
