ARLINGTON, Texas -- The talk from key members of the Cincinnati Bengals leading into Monday's game against the Dallas Cowboys was about making memories and enjoying the rest of this season despite the disappointing record.
Then quarterback Joe Burrow shifted the conversation. After the team's 27-20 win at AT&T Stadium on "Monday Night Football," the final four games of the regular season might not be the end for Cincinnati's offensive trio of Burrow and wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Higgins has failed to reach a long-term deal with the team in each of the past two offseasons and is playing on the one-year franchise tag.
