Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is set for free agency after the 2024 season and that was on his mind during Saturday’s game against the Broncos.
The Bengals are on the road against the Steelers in Week 18, so this season’s home finale might have been Higgins’ last game playing for the home team in Cincinnati. His status was in some doubt during the week due to an ankle injury, but Higgins was able to play and he turned in a memorable performance.
Higgins caught 11 passes for 131 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winning score in overtime.
“It could be my last game playing here in this stadium with stripes on,” Higgins said, via the team’s website. “I wanted to go out with a bang . . . Hopefully, it’s not, but you never know what the future holds. You can’t go out any better way.”
It remains to be seen if Saturday’s game was Higgins’s final impression on Cincinnati, but it will be a lasting one regardless of how things play out on the contract front.
