Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson appeared to initially think that he missed what ended up being a go-ahead field goal during his team’s eventual win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night.
Dual-screen footage shared by the NFL on Tuesday revealed that McPherson kicked the 54-yard attempt and immediately reacted, not even watching the ball go through the uprights.
McPherson made it, though, pulling his team ahead 31-28 at the time — then eventually made the game-winner in overtime from 48 yards out.
McPherson, who had missed one earlier in the night, must’ve felt he hit the ball wrong or something, so it will be a fun conversation point to hear later this week.
For now, the funny moment captured:
