Bengals WR Tee Higgins Sums Up Bengals Problems This Season: ‘Finish F*****g Game’

On November 18, 2024By Littum

CINCINNATI — The Bengals season is close to over before December as the team couldn’t “finish” another winnable game on Sunday night. Tee Higgins had a monster outing against Los Angeles in his return from injury (nine catches, 148 yards, one TD).

Still, Cincinnati sits in the AFC’s 10th seed as of this writing after the 34-27 loss.

“I don’t think we need to change anything,” Higgins said of the team. “We’re playing some damn good football. If you look at the stats, both sides of the ball, like today, we played some damn good football. I don’t know what it is, man, we’ve just got to finish. That’s the word. That’s the week word as long as we do i’ll look past this it’s obviously a tough loss for those guys over there they played a heck of a game.

It’s a good thought and the right message, but completely false. Cincinnati needs to start, maintain and finish, and it failed to do so again Sunday night as LA blew a 24-6 halftime lead. The defense has been terrible this season. Both sides of the ball do not weigh the same.

Good teams win close games and bad teams lose them.

Cincinnati is 1-6 in one-score games this season. It’s a bad football team that now needs help to crack the playoffs while likely having to win every game the rest of the season to make it.

“Take it week by week, you know, rest next week,” Higgins said of what’s next for the team in likely his final few months as a Bengal. “Find out what we’re going to do next and come back on Dec. 1 and try to start there 1-0.”
