Higgins<\/a> participated in the event for the first time<\/a> in six NFL seasons.<\/p>\n

The games, billed as a celebration<\/a> of player skills and highlighted by a flag football game between the AFC and NFC, featured Higgins and fellow Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase<\/a>, as well as Flacco and starting quarterback Joe Burrow.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the game, Chase was playing defensive back when he scored on a pick-six<\/a>. And Burrow ran in a first-quarter touchdown<\/a> on a backward pass.<\/p>\n

Higgins was listed as a second-team alternate when the initial Pro Bowl rosters were announced in December. He replaced Baltimore Ravens<\/a> receiver Zay Flowers.<\/p>\n
