Joe Flacco and Tee Higgins Earn Pro Bowl Recognition
The Cincinnati Bengals are sending multiple players to the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, with wide receiver Tee Higgins and quarterback Joe Flacco both earning their first career Pro Bowl selections. This is a testament to their exceptional performance throughout the 2025 NFL season.
Tee Higgins’ Breakout Season
For Tee Higgins, this Pro Bowl nod marks a significant milestone in his sixth year in the league. The Clemson University alum had a stellar 2025 campaign, hauling in 59 receptions for 846 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns in 15 games (14 starts). His 11 receiving touchdowns weren’t just impressive – they led all players in the AFC and tied for second in the entire NFL.
Higgins showcased remarkable consistency, achieving a career-best streak of four consecutive games with at least one touchdown catch from Week 7 through Week 11. He becomes the 10th wide receiver in Bengals history to receive this prestigious honor. He joins teammate Ja’Marr Chase as Cincinnati’s representatives for the 2025 season. The last time the Bengals boasted two Pro Bowl wide receivers in the same year was back in 2007, with T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson.
Joe Flacco’s Unexpected Pro Bowl Selection
Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, who stepped in for the Bengals later in the season, has also been added to the AFC roster. This selection recognizes his impactful performance and leadership during crucial games. Flacco’s addition is a well-deserved acknowledgement of his continued skill and dedication to the game.
