Former Clemson star Tee Higgins shined in primetime on Thursday Night Football, while fellow former Clemson star Barrett Carter made a big impact as well.
Higgins, the sixth-year NFL wideout, hauled in six receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown, helping the Cincinnati Bengals (3-4) to a 33-31 home victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2).
Meanwhile, Carter led the Bengals with 12 total tackles, including eight solo tackles. It marked his second straight game with double-digit tackles after he recorded 10 tackles against the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 12.
The rookie linebacker has 40 total tackles over seven games so far this season after being selected by Cincinnati in the fourth round (119th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft.
