Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> kicker Evan McPherson almost rewrote the NFL record books on Sunday when he lined up for a 67-yard field goal to end the first half against the Green Bay Packers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

McPherson\u2019s kick banged off the crossbar of the goal post and went through the uprights. Unfortunately, Packers head coach<\/a> Matt LaFleur called a timeout before the kick went off, and it didn\u2019t count.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The longest field goal in NFL history is 66 yards, knocked in by former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker. McPherson put his all into the kick, and with a little help from the win at his back, it would\u2019ve finally put the Bengals on the board.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, McPherson was forced to try the kick again, and he didn\u2019t have the same muscle in his kick as it was a few yards short. Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon had the opportunity to return the kick, but he didn\u2019t get far as the half came to an end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Tucker owns the record after hitting the kick in 2021, Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> kicker Cam Little hit a 70-yard field goal, but it was in a preseason game. So, that stands as an unofficial record despite the incredible feat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time, the Bengals could\u2019ve certainly used those points as they were struggling on offense yet again, though they have a new quarterback under center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cincinnati made the surprising trade with their division-rival Cleveland Browns to acquire veteran Joe Flacco, as Jake Browning hadn\u2019t panned out since the Joe Burrow injury earlier in the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Head coach Zac Taylor is hoping to get his offense going more with Flacco at the helm, though the first half was no indication of such production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bengals couldn\u2019t put anything on the board, while their defense held the Packers to just 10 points. \u00a0<\/p>\n
