There wasn’t much at stake in terms of playoff positioning when the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs met on the field on Sunday. But for several players on the field, there were still plenty of things to play for in Week 18—including a million-dollar bonus.
Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones entered the game with nine sacks on the season and would hit a bonus worth $1.25 million if he could secure his 10th against the Chargers.
Jones would have to wait quite a while before cashing in, but it was undoubtedly worth the wait. In the third quarter with the Chargers facing third-and-6 in the red zone, Jones broke through the line and was able to get a claw on Easton Stick, bringing him to the ground.
