Bengals’ Tee Higgins makes history with incredible TD catch vs Bears

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins completed a feat that only two others have ever accomplished 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. When 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 game.
