Higgins recorded six receptions on nine targets for 99 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Texans.

Higgins entered the team's Week 16 contest having combined to record 206 receiving yards across his last five games and not eclipsing 60 yards in any of those contests. However, he torched the Texans for a couple big plays of 30 and 22 yards. Higgins also found the end zone for the sixth time this season on an impressive, toe-tapping 20-yard catch midway through the third quarter. He and the Bengals will look to turn in another impressive performance to close the season in Week 17 against the Ravens.
