Bengals kicker Evan McPherson suffered an embarrassing moment during a 25-22 Sunday loss to the Packers.
Towards the end of overtime, McPherson missed a field goal to put the Bengals on top. There was just one problem. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

This is a very tough look for McPherson. The kicking woes during the game were already beyond pathetic for both sides, but this moment might have been the worst of them all.
How do you celebrate a missed kick with so much confidence? It’s not like McPherson was waiting for the call.
He was dancing around as if he’d just 100% sealed up three points for the Bengals.

Instead, the Packers got the ball back, marched down the field and Mason Crosby redeemed himself to win the game for Green Bay.
To call it a swing of emotions would be an understatement!

Next time, I suggest McPherson waits to see the officials make a call. That way, he can avoid getting mercilessly dragged online!
