Longest FG - 58 yards
Most 50+ yard FGs made as a Bengal - 9 (and counting)

For the first record, McPherson passes Randy Bullock, who kicked a 57-yarder against the Dolphins in 2019.

For the second record, he passed the following Bengals:
Muhlmann - 8
Pelfrey - 8
Nugent - 8
Graham - 7
Bullock - 7
Breech - 6

The 2nd record is especially impressive, as all of the above guys kicked for the Bengals for 4+ years each.
Keep an eye on his FG%, as he's currently sitting at 2nd behind only Shayne Graham for Bengals kickers who have 25+ attempts with the club.
Graham ended his Bengal career at 86.8%
At the time of posting this, McPherson is 3/3 today, putting him at 24 made against 28 attempted - 85.7%

That play by Burrow right before halftime to get Evan a shot ended up being huge.  If they don't get those 3 points, Denver can win with a FG when they were on their last drive.  

Evan has had some lumps, to be expected.  He should never miss an extra point, but his dominance from beyond 50 has been amazing.  It has helped win games, and that is what you hope for when you use a 5th round pick on a kicker.
