Tyler Higbee was the target on two touchdowns in the first half of Monday night’s Rams-49ers game, but only one of them benefitted the team he plays for. He dropped a pass on a quick screen in the first quarter, which was caught by Jimmie Ward and returned for a touchdown.
Then on the next drive, Higbee bounced back by catching a pass in traffic right at the goal line, getting in for a touchdown. That cut the 49ers’ lead in half, making it 14-7 early in the second quarter.

It’s Higbee’s third touchdown of the season, two shy of his total from 2020. He’s unquestionably the top tight end for the Rams and just about the only tight end who plays any meaningful snaps in Los Angeles.
