OK, so maybe Cincinnati Bengals’ kicker Evan McPherson isn’t perfect after all.
When McPherson lined up for a 58-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter of Week 2’s preseason tilt against the New York Giants on Sunday evening, he was looking at a string of 22-straight field goals without a miss.
After pulling a 50-yard field goal attempt with 5:20 left in a Week 16 blowout of the Baltimore Ravens, McPherson make his next 16 attempts, including a perfect 14-for-14 in the playoffs.
In 2021, McPherson kicked 12 field goals of at least 50 yards to set an NFL record for a rookie, and made five game-winning field goals.
