11/24/24 | Bengals have a horrific Evan McPherson problem. The falloff for Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has been sudden and, in some cases, season-defining for the Bengals. A 71.4 percent overall average ranks McPherson tied for 36th in the league entering Week 12. The struggles have started to carry over and impact other areas of the Bengals, too, with Zac Taylor opting to get more aggressive in some spots because he clearly can't trust the kicking game. Earlier this year, special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons admitted that the operation of the kick has been part of the problem. Source: https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2024/11/24/bengal... |

The disintegration of kicker Evan McPherson's accuracy might be the most jarring development in a Cincinnati Bengals season full of failures.
