The Cincinnati Bengals secured a key victory on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys, showcasing Joe Burrow’s team’s potential on the big stage.
While teammate Ja’Marr Chase stole the show with 14 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns, Tee Higgins’ contributions extend far beyond the stat sheet, according to quarterback Joe Burrow. Despite a quieter performance with just two catches for 23 yards, Higgins remains a crucial part of the Bengals’ offense.
“He’s very important,” Burrow said, highlighting Higgins’ work ethic and the impact he has on opposing defenses. “Tee plays such a big part in what we do here and has for five years now.”
This statement comes just as news broke of Higgins parting ways with his agent, David Mulugheta. According to Bengals beat reporter Kelsey Conway, Higgins will be seeking a long-term deal in the offseason as he plays under the franchise tag.
Currently facing an uphill playoff battle with a 1-4% chance according to NFL.com, the Bengals will next take on the Tennessee Titans at home.
