Tee Ball
Although he’s had his slowest three-game stretch in two years to begin the season with seven catches for 104 yards, wide receiver Tee Higgins is still in the middle of one of the hottest stretches to start a Bengals receiving career.
As he heads into his 74th game, only Chase and the Bengals’ two leading all-time receivers, Chad Johnson and A.J. Green, had more than Higgins’ 337 catches.
He’s been targeted 14 times this season compared to Chase’s 27, but he’s learned to be patient.
“I know it’s going to come my way,” Higgins said this week. “I’ve always been like that. When the ball comes my way, I’ve just got to make a play on it. I’ve got to take advantage of every opportunity I get.”
Head coach Zac Taylor predicts it’s coming his way at some point.
“He and I talk,” Taylor said. “That’s the thing about our guys. There’s not an ego involved in any of this. When it hasn’t gone that way for guys, they really trust where we’ll head.”
