- - - The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the best kickers in the NFL this year after making Evan McPherson a fifth-round pick. - Turns out another team in Ohio that dons the color orange had an eye on him too. - NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo dropped the nugget before the Bengals’ AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs: - “That jersey by the way could have been orange, could have been in the AFC North…The Browns at some point would have drafted McPherson, I believe probably would’ve been the next round…the Bengals were wise to grab McPherson when they did.” - After a superb rookie regular season, McPherson hit all eight of his attempts in the playoffs, including the 52-yarder at the buzzer to beat the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round. - McPherson, by the way, called his shot before making the kick. It’s not too surprising to find out his jersey’s completely sold out with no more on the way. - That’s one way to get a little win over an AFC North and in-state rival. - - From @gmfb Weekend on why the #Bengals are glad they drafted K Evan McPherson when they did. If not, they’d have probably seen him twice a year in a different orange AFC North jersey. pic.twitter.com/vdQkJDKAjt - — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) January 29, 2022 - - - - List - - Bengals vs. Chiefs: 4 things to watch and a prediction in AFC championship - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Bengals Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Bengals Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
