Tee Higgins Extends Touchdown Streak to Four Games Despite Bengals' Week 11 Loss

Tee Higgins extended his touchdown streak to four consecutive games, catching three of eight targets for 63 yards and a score in the Bengals' 34-12 loss to the Steelers. The 6-foot-4, 216-pound wide receiver, who was franchise-tagged for $21.8 million in 2024, has been a consistent performer, averaging 71.7 catches, 1,009 yards, and 6.3 touchdowns over his first three seasons despite an injury-plagued 2023. While his target rate has seen a slight dip with Ja'Marr Chase's emergence, Higgins remains a reliable, high-end WR2 known for his prowess on jump balls and short-to-intermediate routes. The Bengals have resisted trade requests for Higgins, though reports suggest they are open to offers, with a franchise tag likely next offseason if a long-term deal isn't reached.
