Tee Higgins recognized the signs early.
Once Ja'Marr Chase reached the end zone against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, his Cincinnati Bengals teammate figured more would follow.
Chase finished with 10 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown in Cincinnati's 34-17 victory in Madrid.
Higgins enjoyed watching it unfold.
“I had so much fun watching him. Once he got that first touchdown I said, ‘uh oh, here it come,’ and it was just a snowball effect after that,” Higgins said, via Chatterbox Sports.

Chase got Cincinnati on the board with a 47-yard
touchdown reception in the first quarter. By halftime, he had eight catches for 142 yards. The Bengals scored on each of their four first-half possessions to build a 24-10 lead.
Higgins contributed plenty himself. He caught five passes for 32 yards and two touchdowns, giving the receiving duo all three of Joe Burrow's touchdown passes. Burrow completed 24 of 29 attempts for 271 yards and added a rushing score.
The performance helped Cincinnati improve to 6-2 with its fourth consecutive victory.
Next comes a return to Paycor Stadium, where the Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football in Week 10.
Higgins will head into that matchup coming off a two-touchdown game, with Chase fresh off a 155-yard outing.
