Bengals fans lashed out at Bart Scott for blaming Tee Higgins

During a recent episode of ESPN’s First Take, Scott said, I am not trying to put blame on Tee Higgins but that’s something they tried to take out… Right before the tackle, (Higgins) lowers his helmet and he kinda throws his body into (Hamlin’s) chest… He’s standing up because he’s thinking he’s gotta chase Tee Higgins at an angle to make a tackle, so he didn’t expect Tee Higgins to launch his body back into him. It’s one of those things you see as a linebacker.
