His 11 receiving touchdowns led all AFC players and tied for second in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"56O5LMPXDVAHBJ5CI3WB7U2KJ4\">Higgins compiled a career-long streak of four consecutive games with at least one touchdown catch from Week 7 through Week 11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"YSQ2FZ2CPFCW3NYMCULEFPKHTA\">The selection makes Higgins the 10th wide receiver in Bengals history to be named a Pro Bowler. He joins fellow wide receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase as Cincinnati\u2019s Pro Bowl selections for the 2025 season, marking the first time the Bengals have had two wide receivers named to the Pro Bowl in the same season since 2007, when T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson were selected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"SXSFYC63SFFV5E7BV56YE3OMGI\">Higgins was originally listed as a second alternate on the December Pro Bowl roster and replaces Baltimore wide receiver Zay Flowers on the AFC squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"JQBEHVS35ZBT5PYV2QFIL7QDIU\">The 2026 Pro Bowl Games take place Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco and will be televised live on ESPN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CINCINNATI, Ohio \u2014 Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been added to the AFC roster for the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2053],"tags":[228,227,256,94863,2296,94864,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-713515","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cincinnati-bengals","8":"tag-bengals","9":"tag-cincinnati","10":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","11":"tag-cincinnati-bengals-2025-2026","12":"tag-cincinnatibengals","13":"tag-cleveland-browns-2025-2026","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115977329362408664","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
