Higgins don catch touchdown passes for nine straight home games, wey dey tie am with Hall of Famer Jerry Rice for di second-longest streak of all time. If Higgins catch another touchdown pass on Sunday against di New England Patriots, e go tie Hall of Famers Cris Carter and Bob Hayes for di longest streak for history.
"E dey pretty cool," Higgins tok about di streak. "I no really dey keep up with am, but plenty people don come up to me. I dey see stuff for internet and whatnot. Hopefully I go fit keep am going."
Former Bengals receiver Carl Pickens also get streak of eight in a row from 1994-1995, wey be part of overall streak of consecutive games with touchdown – regardless of venue – wey still stand as franchise record.
Pickens' mark of 10 in a row dey tied for di second-longest for NFL history behind Jerry Rice's 13 from 1986-87. Plenty players dey with streaks of at least eight games, and three of dem do am while dey play for di Bengals. A.J. Green catch touchdown for nine straight games during di 2012 season. And T.J. Houshmandzadeh get streak of seven for di 2007 season.
