Tee Higgins capped a big day with a big game-clinching catch.

Higgins caught a TD in the final minutes of overtime to clinch a 30-24 win for Cincinnati over Denver and keep the Bengals' playoff hopes alive:

The TD was a third for Higgins on the day, who totaled 11 catches for 131 yards.

The Bengals had just missed a short field goal on their prior overtime possession.

Higgins is regarded as the top free agent in the 2025 market.

Six Clemson products have recorded at least one three-touchdown receiving game in the NFL, but Tee becomes the first former Tiger to post a game with 3+ touchdowns on double-digit receptions since Jerry Butler’s 10 catches for 255 yards and 4 TD against the Jets in 1979. https://t.co/GPLCsqsQid
