Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins completed a feat only two others have ever done in NFL history after he made an incredible touchdown catch against the Chicago Bears.
Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco found Higgins jockeying for position against Bears defensive back Nashon Wright. As the ball was thrown near the sideline, Higgins jumped up and over Wright to make the catch and score the touchdown before halftime of their Week 9 matchup.
Higgins’ touchdown marked the ninth consecutive home game in which he had a touchdown reception. He matched Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Cris Carter as the only wide receivers to accomplish the milestone.
The score helped make the game 20-17. Higgins had three catches for 63 yards as he went into the locker room. The Bengals noted that he surpassed 5,000 yards receiving for his career.
