What happened: Three Cincinnati Bengals receivers have recorded at least six touchdown catches during the 2026 season. Ja'Marr Chase leads the group with seven scores, while Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki have caught six touchdowns each. Cincinnati accounts for three of the eight players across the NFL to reach that threshold.
Why it matters: The balanced scoring distribution has propelled Cincinnati to a 6-2 record and the AFC's No. 6 seed on an active four-game winning streak. Coming off a 34-17 road victory over the Atlanta Falcons, the Bengals continue to exploit multiple options in scoring territory. That multi-threat passing attack sustains Cincinnati's momentum in the conference standings heading into the second half of the season.
By the numbers: The Bengals stand at 6-2 in 2026 through 8 games. In 2026 through 7 games, Higgins has caught 43 passes for 726 yards and 4 touchdowns, Chase has caught 43 passes for 492 yards and 6 touchdowns, and Gesicki has caught 17 passes for 241 yards and 6 touchdowns.
What to watch: Cincinnati looks to extend its four-game winning streak as the front office evaluates roster depth ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET.
