## Bengals’ Burrow, Higgins, Chase Hope Game vs. Steelers Isn’t Last Together with Cincinnati
**Cincinnati, Ohio** – As the Cincinnati Bengals prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in what could be a pivotal AFC North clash, the trio of quarterback Joe Burrow, wide receiver Tee Higgins, and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase are hopeful that it won’t be their final game together in a Bengals uniform.
### Elite Trio
Burrow, Higgins, and Chase have formed one of the most prolific passing attacks in the NFL. In 2022, Burrow threw for 4,475 yards and 35 touchdowns, while Higgins and Chase combined for 1,910 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns. The trio has been instrumental in the Bengals’ resurgence, leading the team to the AFC Championship Game last season.
### Contract Concerns
However, the future of the trio is uncertain. Burrow is entering the final year of his rookie contract, while Higgins and Chase are both entering the final years of their respective deals. Contract negotiations are expected to begin this offseason, and there is no guarantee that all three players will remain in Cincinnati beyond 2023.
### Higgins Expresses Desire to Stay
Higgins has been vocal about his desire to remain with the Bengals. “I love it here. I love the city. I love the fans. I love my teammates,” Higgins said. “I want to be a Bengal for life.”
### Burrow’s Perspective
Burrow has also expressed his desire to keep the trio together. “They’re my guys. We have a special connection on and off the field,” Burrow said. “I want to win a Super Bowl with them.”
### Chase’s Contract Situation
Chase is the most likely of the trio to leave Cincinnati. The former LSU star is one of the most talented wide receivers in the NFL, and he could command a lucrative contract on the open market. However, Chase has also expressed his desire to remain with the Bengals.
### Impact on Bengals’ Future
The Bengals’ future will be greatly impacted by the decisions made regarding the contracts of Burrow, Higgins, and Chase. If the trio can be kept together, Cincinnati has the potential to be a Super Bowl contender for years to come. However, if one or more of the players leaves, the Bengals’ offense will likely take a significant step back.
### Conclusion
The Bengals’ game against the Steelers on Sunday could be the last time that Burrow, Higgins, and Chase play together in a Bengals uniform. The trio has been a major part of the team’s success in recent years, and their future with the team is uncertain. The Bengals will need to make some tough decisions this offseason if they want to keep their elite passing attack together.
