I was recently rewatching the Cincinnati Bengals’ second game against the Browns last season, and I was struck by something NFL on CBS color analyst Adam Archuleta said on the TV broadcast.
He said that Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are a modern-day Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, and Reggie Wayne. The reason it struck me is because I have believed that for a long time.
Burrow has two incredible wide receivers to throw to in Chase and Higgins, just like Manning had with Harrison and Wayne.
If Tee Higgins plays all 17 games this regular season like Burrow and Chase did in 2024, the possible numbers this Bengals offense could put up are through the roof.
