EVAN MCPHERSON'S POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING:

'I GOT THIS'

Bengals kicker Evan McPherson’s 43-yard knife through the NFL's most treacherous wind Sunday to cut the lead to 10-9 on the first possession of the second half summed up his season.

Overshadowed, but quietly clutch.

His old ways have him back to his old ways of consistency after last year's groin injury cut short his most disappointing season. This week, he sat down with Bengals.com senior writer Geoff Hobson to talk about his busy year of onside kicks and 67-yarders and how the injury made him love the game more. He's got this.

MIKE GESICKI RETURNS TO THE FIELD

Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki doesn't know if he'll be able to play Sunday at Paycor Stadium against the Patriots. He's just happy he's back at practice.

Listed as a full participant Wednesday, he never thought that was going to happen in Green Bay on Oct. 12 after he got tangled up trying to block a defender on his second snap of the game.

"If you had told me I would have felt like this (now) the day it happened, I didn't think that at all," said Gesicki of his pectoral injury. "I thought my season was over. To go out there and practice, and catch a couple balls, and run around out there, that was fun in itself. There is still work to be done and healing to be done, but it's been good."

KEN ANDERSON AGAIN REACHES HALL OF FAME SENIOR SEMIS

Bengals Ring of Honor member Ken Anderson, the only eligible quarterback with four NFL passing titles not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, is again one of the nine semifinalists in the senior category.

For the fourth straight year, Anderson reached the senior semis in a vote by the Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee. Anderson's fellow Bengals Ring of Honor members, Isaac Curtis and Lemar Parrish, were in the final 34 but didn't reach the semis. They survived the cut from 182 senior nominees who haven't played in the last 25 years.

The committee meets Nov. 25 to select the three senior finalists who will join 15 Modern-Era players, as well as a coach and contributor, on the final ballot of 20 names for the 2026 induction.
