AFC Player of the Month: Evan McPherson
2 Oct
Summary
- McPherson has made all eight field goal attempts this season.
- He was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September.
- He is close to breaking the Bengals' record for consecutive field goals.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has been a standout performer early in the 2026 NFL season, exceeding expectations with his consistent kicking. Through the first three games, McPherson has successfully converted all eight of his field goal attempts and all eight of his extra-point attempts, accumulating 32 points and tying for the league's highest score among kickers. He has already made five kicks from over 50 yards, showcasing his impressive range.
McPherson's exceptional performance in September earned him AFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors, marking the second time in his career he has received this accolade. This recognition comes as he plays a crucial role in the Bengals' 2-1 start to the season. His current streak of 20 consecutive made field goals, dating back to Week 11 of the previous season, places him in striking distance of the Bengals' franchise record of 21 consecutive successful kicks. He has an opportunity to tie or break this record this weekend against the Jaguars.
