If you’re going to take a jab at Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, just know his family’s got his back.
During the late stages of this afternoon’s Bengals-Vikings game, Higgins’ mother questioned a no-call from the officials. She thought her son was being held.
One fan, however, thought the blame should fall on Higgins’ shoulders.
“Incomplete,” a fan replied to her tweet. “Tee can’t catch a ball to save his life.”
Instead of letting this troll get away with that response, Higgins’ mother decided to fire back. She wrote, “And yo fat ass can’t catch ur breath.”
This comment from Higgins’ mother immediately went viral.

For the most part, the NFL community is siding with the Higgins family.
“Need this energy in this fan base,” one fan commented. “Cut the check. Make him WR1.”
Another fan said, “He made his account private real quick! I am here for the players families coming for idiots on social media.”
Higgins played a huge role in the Bengals’ comeback win over the Colts, hauling in four passes for 61 yards and two touchdowns. He forced overtime with his second touchdown grab.
Regardless of what some trolls may say on social media, Higgins will receive a lucrative contract this offseason.
