Tyler Higbee and Diontae Johnson were the only players in the NFL this season with 50-plus catches and zero touchdowns. Higbee finally ended his scoring drought on Monday night against the Packers with his first touchdown of the season.
He caught an 8-yarder from Baker Mayfield in the third quarter, pulling the Rams to within 12 points of the Packers. It was also Mayfield’s 100th career touchdown pass.
Prior to that touchdown catch, Higbee had 55 catches for 474 yards on the season.
That was Higbee’s 18th touchdown reception, which ties him for the Rams’ all-time lead for a tight end with Damone Johnson.
Higs caps a 6-play, 70-yard drive! 🙌
