Tee Higgins received tough advice from teammate Ja'Marr Chase amidst low production

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has had a slow start to the 2025 NFL season. In Week 1, Higgins caught three passes for a total off 33 receiving yards from Joe Burrow.

Higgins has had just seven catches for a total of 103 yards and one touchdown since then. The wide receiver hasn't shown any complaints with backup quarterback Jake Browning; however, teammate Ja'Marr Chase feels otherwise.

Chase was asked about Higgins' slow start to the season and said that he should just tell Jake Browning and the coaching staff that he wants the ball. A notion he typically takes when his production falters.

“I always tell Tee (Higgins), if you want the ball…F’n ask for it.”-Ja'Marr Chase told reporters.

Higgins continues to express patience, showing belief that his uptick in production will come soon.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins this past offseason. Higgins signed a four-year deal worth $115 million on March 3rd. Just two weeks later, Chase signed a four-year deal worth $161 million.
