Fan presence means a lot, for any NFL team.  They don't call it "home field advantage" for nothing, but that should be a given rather than the exception.

I think the Bengals made a major mistake by not giving him the huge extension this offseason, he's legit one of the top 5 Safeties in the NFL.  He just proved it again, today.

Evan McPherson is everything the Bengals have wanted and needed in a kicker for many years.  I am proud that he's a Bengal.  Let's just hope that these were just the first of many clutch kicks when the team needs them.  

I honestly thought about him when creating this thread, but if it weren't for the clutch play from the duo of defenders in the OP, Evan might never have had that chance for that clutch kick..
