The sixth-round pick of the team in the 2021 NFL draft turned into an overnight sensation during the team’s run to the Super Bowl. His <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-evan-mcpherson-hilariously-recalls-fans-not-noticing-him-ahead-of-super-bowl-56/">insane confidence</a> and clutch kicking made him a household name in Cincinnati… as a kicker.</p><p>Evan McPherson was so popular, he became a target for an age-old prank: getting slimed. During the Bengals’ training camp, McPherson’s long snapper Clark Harris teamed up with Nickelodeon to douse the kicker in slime. The prank worked perfectly, as the kicker was covered in the iconic green goo. McPherson’s reaction was priceless.

He’s going to be one of the more popular kickers in the league for a long time.</p><p>Evan McPherson will be one of the most important members of the Bengals in the 2022 season, and for good reason. Cincy’s offense is loaded with talent at the skill positions. However, there will be times when that high-powered offense will grind to a halt. In those scenarios, they’ll need McPherson to convert from more than 50 yards.</p><p>After years of sitting in the cellar of the AFC North, the Bengals enter the 2022 season with high aspirations. They fell short of their goal last season. This year, they will want to go all the way to the top.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Cincinnati nearly completed another second half comeback, though it was a disappointing end to a season that felt like it had some magic to it. It’s natural to expect that the Bengals’ loss in the big game would still be on their minds. However, that’s not the only thing still lingering. Bengals kicker Evan McPherson is still a ‘sore subject’ in Cincinnati following the Super Bowl loss. Here’s why, as reported by <a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/03/03/appearance-of-evan-mcpherson-on-bench-during-super-bowl-halftime-remains-sore-subject-with-bengals/">NBC Sports</a>.</p><blockquote>“That’s a sore subject,” special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons said, via Jay Morrison of TheAthletic.com. “That’s a real sore subject.”</blockquote><p>Bengals kicker Evan McPherson was spotted by cameras on the bench watching the Super Bowl halftime show instead of in the locker room with his team.</p><p>On the one hand, McPherson, who became something of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-evan-mcpherson-files-hilarious-trademark-amid-playoff-kicking-heroics/">cult hero</a> for Bengals fans, was seen as a fan just taking in the legendary halftime show like the rest of us. On the other hand, the rookie kicker was seen as someone who wasn’t taking the game seriously enough.</p><p>Apparently, the Bengals haven’t gotten over it yet, as evidenced by the words of Cincinnati’s special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons, who termed it “a real sore subject.”</p><p>McPherson, who made several clutch kicks for the Bengals this year, likely has done more than enough to earn the respect of his teammates. However, it’s certainly notable that the team is still seemingly fuming over his actions during the Super Bowl halftime show.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

McPherson’s leg is one of the biggest reasons why Cincy made it back to the Super Bowl this season.</p><p>On the final play of Super Bowl 56, Cincinnati was down by 3 after a touchdown by <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-cooper-kupps-stunned-reaction-to-winning-super-bowl-mvp/">eventual MVP</a> Cooper Kupp. Facing a fourth-and-one situation, the team wasn’t able to move the sticks, ending their season prematurely. With Evan McPherson’s penchant for hitting clutch long kicks, it’s possible that the game may have went to overtime if they were able to convert that fourth down.</p><p>Despite the loss, there’s a lot to like about this young Bengals roster. If McPherson is able to sustain his performance as one of the best kickers in the league, Cincy’s offense will gain a much-needed stability in clutch situations.

McPherson made a couple of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-evan-mcpherson-confirms-he-called-game-on-winning-kick-vs-titans/">clutch kicks</a> to earn the Bengals two playoff victories, vaulting him into NFL stardom in the process. However, not everyone always knew who the Bengals kicker was.

The Bengals kicker said this is a stark contrast from how life used to be, as he could “go to Target and nobody would have a clue who he was.”</p><p>McPherson said that people would say it’s cool that he’s a fan of the Bengals kicker while he was wearing his own jersey, hilariously not realizing that they were seeing the <i>actual Cincinnati</i> kicker.</p><p>Evan McPherson should probably get used to being recognized at Target after his playoff greatness.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The rookie has made multiple crucial kicks during the Bengals playoff run and has developed a cult of diehard fans in the Cincy area. Well, adding to the incredible story surrounding the Bengals’ fifth-round kicker, McPherson has gone and filed a trademark application for the phrase “Money Mac” <a href="https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/1487928060670263305?">according to Darren Rovell.</a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bengals kicker Evan McPherson filed a trademark application for MONEY MAC leading up to the AFC Championship game.</p><p>MONEY MAC is headed to the Super Bowl.</p><p>Filing by lawyer <a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenHeitner?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@DarrenHeitner</a>. <a href="https://t.co/SGddGteFoQ" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/SGddGteFoQ</a></p><p>— Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) <a href="https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/1487928060670263305?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">January 30, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>McPherson is filing the trademark application through his lawyer Darren Heitner, and indicated his plans to sell various apparel products including hats, pants, shirts, sweatshirts, and more, with the “Money Mac” phrase on them. Talk about a great way to capitalize on a sudden rise in popularity.</p><p>Entering the playoffs, McPherson was far from a household name. He had strung together a solid rookie season in Cincinnati, but not many fans bothered to discuss a rookie kicker on an underdog Bengals playoff team. Well, before long, McPherson became the talk of the town, alongside Joe Burrow, as his kicking exploits proved pivotal to the Bengals’ success.</p><p>Burrow even revealed that McPherson, in an insanely confident move, told the team they were headed to the AFC Championship before taking the field to nail the game-winning kick against the Titans. It takes an absolute lunatic to walk around with that much confidence, but that’s the exact level of faith McPherson has in his abilities as a clutch kicker. “Money Mac” is an extremely fitting nickname for the young kicker, who has been nothing but cash money throughout the playoff run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
