The man whose right foot sent the Bengals to the Super Bowl on Sunday tells TMZ Sports he told his holder just before the game-winning kick over the Chiefs, “Let’s just be legendary.”
Evan McPherson broke down the conversation with us on Monday … saying it happened just seconds before he booted the 31-yard field goal to give Cincinnati the 27-24 win in the AFC Championship game.

“Before I took my steps back, I was just like, ‘All right, man. Let’s just be legendary,'” McPherson said he told holder Kevin Huber. “I said this is where legends are made.”
“And so I was like, ‘Let’s just be legendary. Let’s put this ball through and let’s go to the Super Bowl.'”
Huber got the hold down clean and McPherson launched the ball through the uprights — and McPherson tells us the party was on afterward.
