CINCINNATI — Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin paid Tee Higgins the ultimate compliment on Tuesday.

Tomlin was asked about Joey Porter Jr. getting called for six penalties while guarding Higgins in Pittsburgh's 44-38 win over Cincinnati.

"When we play Shaq, we're going to use our fouls," Tomlin said.

Comparing Higgins to Shaquille O'Neal is quite a compliment. Higgins finished with five catches for 69 yards and one touchdown.

The Bengals are 4-8 on the season following the loss. They're 3-4 when Higgins is on the field, which shows you how poorly they've played on defense this season.
