Tee Higgins' mom pulls receipts to clown Steelers' Joey Porter Jr. after Bengals WR puts clinical performance on TNF

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins put up an impressive performance during their 33-31 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. Before the game, NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolfe shared the conversation he had with cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who said he was confident about beating the Bengals.

The Steelers cornerback also reportedly wanted Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase to hear him trash-talk them on the field.

"I talked to Porter Jr. this week. He said, 'I know they're going to be talking about those guys, Chase and Higgins, in pregame. So, I want to make sure they are talking about me in postgame.' He said, 'I am a trash talker, and that's how I get going. And best believe they are going to hear me throughout the game.'

"Chase, earlier this week, said he knows in a colorful way they're gonna try to embarrass him. Joey told me, 'Yes, we are. We're gonna try to embarrass them with our play.'"

Against the Steelers, Higgins recorded 96 yards and one touchdown receiving. He has played in all seven games this season and tallied 316 yards and three touchdowns receiving.

The Bengals drafted the wide receiver with the 33rd pick in the 2020 NFL draft. In March, he signed a four-year extension with the team worth $115 million.


Tee Higgins' unselfish play helped the Bengals secure the victory over the Steelers

With just over two minutes left in the game, Aaron Rodgers found Pat Freiermuth for a 68-yard passing touchdown, and Chris Boswell's extra point gave the Steelers a 31-30 lead.

However, Tee Higgins' unselfish play in the end helped his team clinch the win. During a second-and-8 play, the wide receiver caught a pass from Joe Flacco and slid down at the 7-yard line. This set up Evan McPherson for the game-winning 36-yard field goal with just seven seconds left on the clock.

The Bengals (3-4), who snapped a four-game losing streak, are next scheduled to take on the New York Jets at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
