Tyler Higbee has completely overtaken Gerald Everett’s role
Gerald Everett returned from injury Saturday after missing three games, but he was a complete non-factor. Higbee once again played the majority of the snaps, while Everett barely saw the field at all. It showed on the stat sheet, too. Everett was targeted once (zero catches), while Higbee had 11 passes come his way.
Higbee caught nine of them for 104 yards, recording his fourth-straight 100-yard game. He’s become a focal point of the offense, both as a blocker and a receiver. He’s living up to the contract extension he signed this year, looking like a true No. 1 tight end.
