The Bengals took a 30-24 win in overtime to remain in the post season chase.\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\"><strong>CINCINNATI \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0There&#8217;s been plenty of speculation about Joe Burrow&#8217;s future with the Cincinnati Bengals in recent months.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">Tee Higgins has had enough. The Bengals star receiver shot down the latest internet rumor.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">Former NFL quarterback Kurt Benkert turned Burrow&#8217;s latest social media post into a question about his future.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">Burrow put a bow on 2025 with an Instagram post that included multiple photos of him, including one from Sunday&#8217;s season finale against the Browns. The post included the caption: &#8220;2025 was&#8230;. Adversity.&#8221; Burrow also included the song &#8220;Good Life&#8221; by Kanye West.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Benkert used the song lyrics to imply that Burrow was sending everyone a message about his future.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">In the song, West says: &#8220;The good life, it feel like Atlanta. It feel like L.A., it feel like Miami. It feel like N.Y., summertime Chi&#8217;, Now throw yo&#8217; hands up in the sky&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">&#8220;Anyone peep that?&#8221; Benkert asked.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">&#8220;No dice,&#8221; Higgins responded.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">While Burrow didn&#8217;t have the season he wanted to have and the Bengals underachieved, finishing 6-11, including a 1-8 record when Burrow was injured, there&#8217;s absolutely no reason to think the star quarterback wants out of Cincinnati.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">Higgins&#8217; response is another indication that the star quarterback is focused on making the Bengals the best team they can be.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\">&#8220;I\u2019m really proud of what I did this year. I came back from an injury faster than any human ever has,&#8221;\u00a0Burrow said after Sunday&#8217;s season finale against the Browns.\u00a0&#8220;I\u2019m really proud of that. I played some really good football when back. I had one bad game, and you certainly don\u2019t want those, but I won\u2019t lose my mind over that. I played some really high-level football.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\">Burrow and the Bengals went 5-3 in games he started. He completed 66.8% of his passes for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions. He missed nine games after suffering a grade 3 turf toe injury that required surgery.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\">Check out Higgins&#8217; reaction below:<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/voltaxMediaLibrary\/mmsport\/all_bengals\/01kedhc2ek6wpaz76d46.jpg\" alt=\"Tee Higgins\/X\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joe Burrow Reveals Bengals\u2019 Offseason Blueprint, Coaching Staff Stays Intact | Enter The Jungle\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RdZUSR_Q6Sw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Higgins reacted to the latest internet speculation about Burrow&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41231,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
