Florida football: Multiple Gators look to make an impact in Divisional Round
By Will Thomas
Money McPherson made a name for himself in the postseason last year, when he hit clutch kick after clutch kick to get Cincinnati into the Super Bowl.
For as impressive as Jow Burrow and his receivers were during that run, they don’t get there without Evan’s leg. It was good to see McPherson thriving in those situations last year, as he didn’t have any big-time kicks during his Gator career.
He was unable to make the game-tying kick against LSU in 2020 but bounced back incredibly well during his rookie season in the NFL.
This year Evan had an 82.8% field goal rate, and a 90.9% extra point rate. His long on the season was 59 yards, had he totaled 112 points.
In the Wild Card against the Ravens, he hit his only field goal attempt and was 1-2 on extra points.
The Bengals will have to score a lot if they want to leave Buffalo with a win, so Evan will have plenty of opportunities to score some points for Cincy.
