Bengals’ Tee Higgins Drops Blunt Quote on Joe Burrow After Costly Fumble

The Cincinnati Bengals suffered their first loss of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers after Joe Burrow lost a fumble with 53 seconds remaining. Burrow was sacked at the Steelers' 38-yard line by Derrick Harmon, and Sebastian Joseph-Day recovered the ball to seal Pittsburgh's victory. Following the defeat, wide receiver Tee Higgins strongly defended Burrow, dismissing the late mistake by highlighting the quarterback's overall performance.

Prior to the turnover, Burrow completed 28 of 37 passes for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and added 13 rushing yards. Cincinnati had previously squandered opportunities earlier in the game due to special teams errors, including a roughing-the-kicker penalty and a muffed punt that led directly to 10 points for Pittsburgh.
