Tee Higgins Boxes Out Defender For Bengals Touchdown Against Steelers

Tee Higgins just caught one of the best TDs of his career in a way few players could. The physical Bengals wide receiver got an eye on the ball in the end zone and caught a deep heave from Joe Burrow for his second passing TD of the game against Pittsburgh. It's tied 17-17 at the half.

It all got set up by a rough drop by first-TD scorer Roman Wilson and a great heads-up interception from Jordan Battle to get the momentum all the way flipped on the road.

Burrow is playing fantastic so far, going 18-for-21 passing for 152 yards and two scores in the first half.
