With an incredibly talented, 6'4" receiver on the roster, the question of who to throw the ball to in the red zone is never going to take the Bengals very long to answer. In this Week 17 showdown between two teams battling for the final playoff spot in the AFC, Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins put on an absolute clinic on how to make plays in the critical red zone area, catching three touchdown passes from two, 12, and three yards out, respectively, including the game-winning score late in overtime that kept the Bengals' postseason dreams alive. With a final stat line that included 11 catches and 131 yards, Higgins dominated to help Cincinnati beat the Broncos, 30-24, on Dec. 28, 2024.
