Evan McPherson thought he had 3, but it was not to be.
In a cringe-inducing moment on Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers, the Cincinnati Bengals kicker believed he’d booted a 49-yard field goal to win the game in overtime. He watched the ball sail toward the goal post and jumped into the arms of holder Kevin Huber.
But McPherson didn’t see that the ball missed. Oof.
What’s more, the Packers’ Mason Crosby did make his 49-yard attempt a few minutes later in overtime, leading to a 25-22 victory.
