NFL Week 14, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

13. Higbee finishes with more than 100 receiving yards again
After being embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens in front of a national audience in Week 13, the Los Angeles Rams were hoping to bounce back in one of the strongest ways possible on Sunday with a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Of course, this also seemed like the ultimate trap game after seeing how close the Cardinals came to upsetting the San Francisco 49ers both times, but luckily the Rams came prepared to play in this one.
Just how great did Los Angeles look in Arizona? Let’s just say Jared Goff, who went all of November without a single touchdown pass, threw for more than 400 yards to go along with multiple touchdowns shows how dominant the Rams were during their 34-7 win over the Cardinals.
From Robert Woods hauling in 13 passes to Todd Gurley nearly breaking the 100-yard rushing mark for the first time in 2019, plenty of players stepped up on offense to help take the pressure off Goff under center.
But when it comes to the biggest surprise factor of all, Tyler Higbee certainly deserves the honors after taking on a larger role with Gerald Everett out by catching seven passes for 107 yards to go along with a touchdown.
Does this mean Rams fans can rely on Higbee to come up big again in Week 14 with a critical game against the Seattle Seahawks? In order for Los Angeles to keep their playoff hopes alive, the tight end may need to do so.
