Why Bengals’ win Saturday was about much more than one game for Tee Higgins

New York Times  

CINCINNATI — The moment Tee Higgins caught the game-winning 3-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow in overtime, he heaved his third touchdown reception high into the air as a cathartic release. “Emotions are just everywhere,” Higgins said, feeling reflective following his 11-reception, 131-yard, three-touchdown emphatic statement to the entire NFL. He was unbelievable today.” The owners’ suite didn’t need a reminder of why you would just pay the price and keep Higgins, but on Saturday night it sure got slapped in the face with one. Chase stood 10 feet away from Higgins as he spoke into a bevy of microphones after the game and interjected a simple message: “Pay that man!” Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. “I grew so many relationships within the building, outside the building, in the city,” Higgins said, when asked about contemplating the concept that money could take him elsewhere.
