McPherson was 7/12 (58%) on field goals of 50+ yards last season and is 3/4 this season 75%. A 50+ yard field goal is certainly not guaranteed
If McPherson misses the field goal, it should have been obvious to everyone we were going to lose the game by giving Baltimore the ball near midfield with the way our defense was struggling and with Justin Tucker waiting on the sideline. That's bad coaching not understanding the situation. Zac's playing not to lose is part of the reason we lost the game.
