McPherson converted one of his two field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 win at San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
McPherson missed his first field-goal try of the day from 50 yards out in the middle of the second quarter, failing to help Cincinnati expand on a 14-7 lead. Later though, he partially made up for the missed chance by connecting on a 56-yarder early in the third quarter to extend the Bengals' lead to 17-10. In all, he has made just four of his seven field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards out in 2023, a far cry from the 87.5 percent conversion rate he managed from that range his first two years in the league. He's still been generally effective overall though, and he projects as a fine fantasy option in Week 9 when Cincinnati hosts Buffalo.

McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-13 win versus Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
McPherson didn't get a ton of chances during a low-scoring affair versus the Seahawks, but he answered the call and drove home a 52-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter after a three-and-out from Cincinnati's offense to extend the team's lead to four points, which the Bengals would hold the rest of the way. Cincinnati has struggled to advance the ball the whole length of the field so far this season, putting McPherson on pace for a career high in field-goal attempts. He's remained as effective as ever, but the Bengals will have a tough San Francisco defense on tap after their Week 7 bye.

McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
With the Bengals able to find the end zone multiple times in Week 5, McPherson was able to kick as many PATs as he had all season, going 4-for-4 and bringing his season total to 8-for-8. Both of his FGAs were good from 40 yards out, leaving him perfect on the year on field-goal tries under 50 yards, and 9-for-11 overall. Next up for McPherson and the Bengals is a Week 6 matchup with the Seahawks.

McPherson was for 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts in the Bengals' 27-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
McPherson was only called upon once, but he came through connecting on his 21-yard kick in the first quarter on the game-opening drive. Unfortunately, for Cincinnati, McPherson was not needed again afterward to score any points. The Florida product is now 7-for-9 on FGAs on the season, while he remains a perfect 4-for4 on PATs. Next up for McPherson is the Cardinals in Week 5.

McPherson made four of five field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Monday night's 19-16 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
McPherson accounted for 13 of his team's points, connecting on field goals from 49, 53, 48 and 54 yards. That impressive effort came despite sending a 56-yard effort wide left on Cincinnati's first drive. Through three games, he now sports 22 points.

McPherson connected on all three of his extra-point tries and his lone field-goal attempt in a 27-24 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
McPherson was good from 27 yards out in the second quarter to make him 2-for-3 on FGAs for the 2023 season after hitting from 42 but missing from 51 yards out Week 1 against the Browns. He'll look to be perfect again in Week 3 against the Rams.

McPherson made one of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 24-3 loss at Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
McPherson converted on a 42-yard field goal on Cincinnati's first drive of the second half to cut the Browns' lead to 10-3, but he only saw one more opportunity to kick the ball after that. On the Bengals' next possession, he pushed a 51-yard attempt wide to the right. Joe Burrow and company being stifled almost entirely is probably an aberration, and McPherson's miss was just the third of his career from 50-plus after 17 attempts. If nothing else, Cincinnati's offense seems like a good bet to improve on their Week 1 point total in Week 2 versus Baltimore.

McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
McPherson converted from 34 and 26 yards on his field goals. After a fantastic rookie season, McPherson was less accurate this year, with his 112 total points placing outside the top 15 for kickers league-wide. He'll now turn his focus to Sunday night's wild-card game and rematch versus the Ravens.

McPherson connected on one of two field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point tries during Saturday's 22-18 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Joe Burrow found Tee Higgins for a nine-yard score on the Bengals' first drive of the game, but McPherson pushed the extra-point try wide right. The kicker missed another PAT to the right following Cincinnati's next touchdown, but after the kick was negated by an unnecessary roughness call, the Bengals opted to go for two. McPherson bounced back by connecting on a 28-yard field goal to start the second quarter and finally made a PAT before halftime. However, the second-year kicker pulled his final kick -- a 43-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter -- wide left. Overall, it was certainly a shaky performance from McPherson, but given the Bengals' high-powered offense, he should get plenty of opportunities to bounce back in Week 17 against Buffalo.

McPherson made both field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
A 41-yard field goal as the first half expired accounted for Cincinnati's only points before halftime, but the offense heated up in the second half. McPherson made another kick from 21 yards and tacked on a pair of PATs as the Bengals improved to 10-4.
