Bengals kicker, Evan McPherson missed a 29-yard field goal that could have won the game in overtime.

On both of those kicks, Cincinnati was using tight end, Mitchel Wilcox as the long-snapper.

Evan played college football at Florida before being drafted by the Bengals in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the only kicker to be selected that year.

During the Bengals’ 2021 playoff run, McPherson tied Adam Vinatieri for most field goals made in a single post-season field goal made without any misses. Due to his clutch kicking, McPherson is nicknamed Shooter and Money Mac.

McPherson owns the Bengals franchise record for the longest field goal with a 59-yard field goal he made in 2022.
