Shooter/McMoney McPherson's epic quote before the winning 52-yard field goal at Tennessee:

From an article today titled: Bengals' Evan McPherson confirms giving epic quote to backup QB, says Cincinnati is buzzing thanks to success

"Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow mentioned in the postgame press conference that he overheard McPherson telling backup quarterback Brandon Allen 'looks like we’re going to the AFC Championship' after warming up for a few moments before the game-winning kick."

"McPherson appeared on Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom and was asked by co-anchor Bill Hemmer whether he gave the iconic quote to Allen."

"'I did,' McPherson said. 'I’ll tell you the reason I kinda said it. How I explain it is I feel like, kinda saying something like that, you gotta back it up and so after saying that there’s kinda no other option but to go out there and make it.'"

"Dana Perino asked McPherson how the community has reacted to the Bengals’ success. McPherson said he used to be able to go into supermarkets and go relatively unnoticed. That’s not the case anymore."

"'The community is on fire. I love it. It started out with I could go to Target or go get my haircut and kinda go unnoticed,' he said. 'Now it’s funny now that we’re kinda in the spotlight and winning games, more and more I got to Target and somebody is like ‘Are you the Bengals kicker?’ and I’m like 'Yeah, yeah.’ It’s pretty cool (to see) the presence we’ve made in the Cincinnati area and it’s just so awesome. Like I said before, I’m just so happy to be a part of this team that’s kinda bringing life to the city of Cincinnati. Hopefully, we keep winning and bring more life.'"

Good for him!!!

Glad we have a legit kicker, NFL teams will start drafting kickers after this situation!

WHO DEY!!!

Yeah, when I first saw that, I was like...........





That's the kind of swagger and confidence that the entire team and this whole city needs!

The entire team needs that mentality in Kansas City to just say "we're coming to take this game!"

Regarding the kicker, can we end the nickname debate? The team has chosen his nickname, and it's badass.

Shooter it is.

I know. But didn't the announcers say for one of his earlier kicks that his nickname was McMoney and with that kind of nickname, he better make the kick? Or did I hear something that wasn't there?

All the other teams are considering drafting a kicker now....lol

I think at some point earlier in the year, he was asked which of the many nicknames he liked the most, and Money Mac was his response.

Lapham and Hoard call him Money Mac throughout the game

Tbh I hate that nickname.

I've been calling him Sir Kicks-a-Lot, or just his name.

Yall call him what you like. Money Mac sounds way better than "Shooter" though, IMO.

Who doesn't like a confident kicker. Even better, he walks the talk.

8/8 FGA in the playoffs including 2/2 from 50+ and the game winner. He was just as spectacular in the regular season. His FG% of 84.8% doesn't concern me since he attempted 11 kicks from 50+ and the Green Bay game was crazy with the kicking conditions.

He's going to be a difference maker for this franchise and make A LOT of big kicks to win A LOT of big games!

I wasnt sold on Shooter until CJ had his Miked Up game vs the Raiders... when the two oldest guys on the roster by half a decade came up behind McPherson and did the shooter thing I lost it lol.

Same.  And every time I say it now, I feel I have to say it that same way.  And it makes me laugh.  Anything is better than Legs Benedict, so I'm hoping that just finally dies...

You might have to take this up with the long snapper. 

I would like to go on record and say that the nickname money Mac for our guy @McPherson_Evan is whack. From this point on (in my opinion) his name shall be Shooter McPherson pic.twitter.com/oKT0Gzjlct

Can one of you link me this clip? I haven't seen it.

I've not seen the clip. I only noticed Harris posting about the nickname on Twitter.

Good luck finding one with a leg like that.

Evan McPherson has kicked 11 50+ yard field goals between the regular and postseason. This may be an NFL record.

The highest combined totals I can find going back to the 80s are:

Justin Tucker 2016 10 50y+ FG
Blair Walsh 2012 10 (fantastic rookie year)

Anyone know if it is indeed the new rookie record?
