Chase Encourages Higgins to Demand More Targets
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has a clear message for his teammate Tee Higgins regarding his sluggish start to the season. As the Bengals look to ignite their offense, Chase believes the answer lies in Higgins taking a more proactive approach.
Chase, who has established himself as the team’s premier receiving threat, boasts impressive stats with 21 receptions for 241 yards and one touchdown this season. In contrast, Higgins has faced a tougher beginning, with just seven catches for 104 yards and a single touchdown to his name.
An Urgent Call to Action
During a media session on Friday, Chase was candid about Higgins’ situation. He urged Higgins to be assertive in seeking the ball. “I’ve always told him, if he wants the ball, go f**king ask for it,” Chase declared, highlighting the importance of self-advocacy in a competitive league.
This straightforward advice serves as a reminder for any wide receiver struggling to find their rhythm: sometimes, you must take matters into your own hands. For Higgins, increasing his involvement in the Bengals’ offense may hinge on actively seeking more targets and making his presence felt on the field.
As the season progresses, the Bengals will look to fine-tune their offensive strategy, and a more engaged Higgins could be key to unlocking their full potential.
