Marvel Comics has its superheroes. The Cincinnati Bengals have theirs.
It all started when Joe Burrow purchased a limited edition Batmobile from Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” film series. As soon as word got around, some members of the media labeled Burrow “Batman.” But not for long, because receiver Tee Higgins has come up with a new moniker.
Early in Sunday’s victory over the Browns, Burrow was scrambling out of the pocket when he got tripped up by one of his own linemen. As Burrow was falling to the ground, he managed to find Higgins open in the end zone for a two-yard touchdown pass that capped off a 98-yard drive and left everyone shaking their collective heads.
