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.'"

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!"

Shooter it is.

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.

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.

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

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)
