Evan McPherson breaks Bengals' franchise record for field goals of 50+ in one season

Cincinnati Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson tied a 51-year-old franchise record with his fourth field goal of the season of more than 50 yards - a career-long 54-yarder during the first quarter to give the Bengals their first score of Sunday's game against the Raiders in Las Vegas.

He broke the franchise record with his 53-yard field goal during the third quarter - his fifth of 50+.

Horst Mühlmann made four field goals of 50+ yards for Cincinnati in 1970.

McPherson's only miss in six attempts from more than 50 yards was a 57-yard try in an overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers.
