Reactions: Tee Higgins leaps into air for touchdown catch from Joe Burrow against Chargers

Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (85) makes a leaping catch over Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Michael Davis (43) for a touchdown in the second quarter of the NFL Week 13 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Chargers at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati on Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021. The Chargers led 24-13 at halftime.

Highlights were few and far between for the Cincinnati Bengals during the first half of Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at Paul Brown Stadium, but receiver Tee Higgins' leaping catch of Joe Burrow's pass in the end zone during the second quarter definitely would qualify.

Higgins' 29-yard touchdown catch - his fourth of the season and 10th of his NFL career - completed a six-play, 75-yard scoring drive. The Bengals still trailed by 18 after a missed extra-point attempt, but scored again a short time later on Burrow's TD run that followed a fumble recovery and return by Jessie Bates III.
