The players are often the target of intense criticism and scrutiny. This was no different for Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins during the tense game against the Minnesota Vikings. However, just like Higgins’ on-field performance caught the internet’s attention, the bold and unapologetic responses of his mother, Camilla Stewart, to the online trolls also captured his eyes.

The landing, defined as a catch-of-the-year contender, showcased Higgins’ outstanding skills. Browning, compelled out of the pocket, threw a desperate bypass that Higgins miraculously caught, demonstrating both ability and a keen sense of spatial recognition. He stretched the ball to the front pylon, completing the play and scoring a whole lot to the delight of Bengal lovers and, absolutely, his mom.
