Tee Higgins' mom unleashes F-bomb after backlash over Bengals' 17-37 loss to Eagles

Things are spiraling out of control for the Cincinnati Bengals after their 37-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Even wide receiver Tee Higgins' mom got involved in the act.

Higgins was a surprise injury designation for the game and he was missed as Cincinnati failed to get going on offense. It did not help that their defense could not hold back Philadelphia either.

Overall, it was a poor night for the Bengals and Tee Higgins' mother got into a back-and-forth with fans on social media. She said her comments were being misinterpreted by people on X/Twitter and used an unflattering word to refer to the supporters engaging with her.

She wrote:

"That tweet wasn’t meant how u dumb f*cks took it."

Tee Higgins' absence slows down Bengals offense but defense a continuing issue against Eagles

Tee Higgins missed the Week 8 matchup for the Bengals against the Eagles and he could have helped the offense that had just one passing touchdown from Joe Burrow. The quarterback had 234 passing yards and was picked once. He threw 37 passes and completed 26.

The Bengals struggled to get the rushing attack going and recorded just 58 yards on the ground.

However, the biggest problem was the defense. Saquon Barkley got more than 100 rushing yards, while Jalen Hurts ran into the endzone three times.

DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown recorded more than 80 yards, with the former also recording a touchdown. It was the only Eagles passing touchdown of the game.

Cincinnati is now 3-5. The loss was further compounded by the Browns defeating the Ravens, which means Cleveland is just one game behind. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are two games ahead with five wins.

The Eagles, on the other hand, are looking good after a shaky start to the season. Given how they imploded in 2023 and finished with a whimper, reversing that trend is perhaps not the worst thing.
