It's been a quiet season for the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver.
On Saturday, he made up for it with a two-touchdown performance, including one that sent the game into overtime in the final minute with what could be the catch of the year.

Late in the second quarter, a review of a Higgins' reception was overturned, which led to his mother, Camilla Stewart, posting on X, formerly Twitter, "No f---in way" and "He be right in their damn face."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An X user wrote to her that the pass was "dropped," but Stewart was quick to clap back.
"Like ya mama dropped [your ugly a--]," she wrote.
After the user said Stewart shouldn't get "so defensive," Stewart replied again with a middle finger emoji.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Another X user wrote that the ball is "on the damn ground anytime it goes his way."
"Like ur b---h a--," Stewart wrote.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}In a since-deleted post, a user wrote that Higgins "can't catch a ball to save his life."
Stewart was far from finished.
"And yo fat a-- can't catch ur breath," she replied.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}After her son's performance, Stewart still wasn't finished.
"My lame a-- son had himself a game…come haters let’s see y’all dumb a--es in my comments. Whose first," she wrote with a laughing emoji.
Some of her comments got much more vulgar.
