Higgins scored on a 4-yard pass from quarterback Joe Burrow.
Higgins' 50th career TD reception was his fifth of this season. He's in his seventh NFL season, all with the Bengals.
"It's just not fair," NFL Network analyst Louis Riddick said during the broadcast. "It's just not fair. Watch how Tee Higgins catches this ball."
Higgins celebrated by handing the ball to a very excited young fan.
Higgins entered the game ranked second in the NFL in receiving yardage this season, trailing only the Seattle Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Higgins was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his effort in Cincinnati's 43-36 overtime win in NFL Week 8 against Tennessee. It was Higgins' first-ever AFC Offensive Player of the Week award.
Higgins had 10 catches for 155 receiving yards against the Titans, and caught two of quarterback Joe Burrow's five touchdown passes.
After being held without a catch during the first half, Higgins went off during the second half of a Week 7 rout in Baltimore, catching six Joe Burrow passes for 148 receiving yards with a touchdown.
Earlier in the second half, Higgins' shoulder and arm were evaluated by medical personnel after he absorbed a big hit from Ravens defensive back Kyle Hamilton after a catch.
Before the bye week, Higgins was dealing with an adductor injury he suffered in a Week 4 loss to Jacksonville.
