McPherson made his lone field goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.
McPherson didn't have a kick attempt until the third quarter of Sunday's game due to the Bengals' offense struggling to march down the field. He converted the extra-point attempt in the third quarter following a Zack Moss touchdown run, and McPherson connected on a 51-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter. McPherson and Cincinnati will take on Kansas City in Week 2.
