The 2026 Pro Bowl Games took place on Tuesday night, with some of the top players in the AFC and NFC facing off in a flag football game and skills challenges at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif.
The NFC came out on top in the Pro Bowl Games by a score of 66-52, but one of the AFC stars that took part in the competition was Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver and former Clemson star Tee Higgins.
Higgins was named to his first career Pro Bowl as a replacement for Baltimore Ravens receiver Zay Flowers. Higgins earned the honor after recording 59 receptions for 846 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns over 15 games during the 2025 season. He was first in the AFC, and tied for second in the NFL, with his 11 touchdown catches despite missing a couple of games due to concussions.
Higgins made his share of plays during the Pro Bowl flag football game, catching a touchdown pass from Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco, while Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders also found Higgins for a one-point conversion.
After his touchdown catch from Flacco, Higgins paid tribute to his former Clemson teammate Dexter Lawrence with the “Sexy Dexy” celebration.
