Evan McPherson could be blacklisted in Cincinnati after missing several crucial kicks for the Bengals on Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The lights at SoFi Stadium were too bright for McPherson, who missed two field goal attempts in the fourth quarter in a one-score loss to the Bolts, 34-27. He missed from 48 and 51.

McPherson spoiled a roaring comeback by Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense in the second half.

Both misses by McPherson thwarted Joe Burrow’s efforts to bring the Bengals back into the game after they fell to a 21-point deficit. Burrow’s strong effort was not enough.

The Bengals quarterback completed 28-of-50 for 356 passing yards and three touchdowns against a well-coached Chargers defense.

Cincinnati hit a season low following this loss, falling to 4-7. A team plagued by small losses all season continues to struggle to find a way to win these tight contests with Burrow at quarterback, which inevitably looks terrible on the coaching staff.

Before, the Chargers were known for fumbling plays. On Sunday, the Cincy Bolts beat in a battle of which team could fumble the most momentum.

Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase (2 TDs) combined for 223 receiving yards, another aspect marred by McPherson’s missed kick.

Burrow and the Bengals necessary this victory.

NFL fans had a field day with the Bengals kicker’s terrible night.
