Ever since Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made a game-winner against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4, head coach Zac Taylor’s son, Brooks, had been asking for McPherson’s jersey for Christmas.
Taylor found it harder than he expected to find a youth-sized jersey of the Bengals kicker, because they don’t have the same circulation as Joe Burrow’s, Ja’Marr Chase’s or Joe Mixon’s.
Two days before the Bengals beat the Kansas City Chiefs and clinched a playoff berth, Taylor said he expected the jersey to be delivered shortly. Assuming it has arrived, this week ended up being a big deal for Brooks and a big deal for McPherson.
