Watch: Bengals WR Tee Higgins makes unreal TD to tie game vs. Vikings

By Eric Smithling  |  Last updated 12/16/23

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins made one of the best touchdowns of the season with an incredible individual effort in the closing minute against the Vikings on Saturday.

On a second-and-10 from Minnesota's 21-yard line with 48 seconds remaining, Bengals quarterback Jake Browning backpedaled and heaved the football off his back foot to the front corner of the end zone, which is where Higgins created magic.

He high-pointed the football and caught it just outside the 1-yard line, and while being pulled out of bounds, extended the ball with one hand enough for it to cross the goal line for the tying touchdown.

Higgins was praised online for the outstanding play that tied the game at 24, forcing overtime.

Higgins stepped up literally and figuratively after Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) was injured during the game and couldn't return.

The Bengals needed someone to take charge, and Higgins, a 2024 free agent, answered the call.
