Vikings’ Danielle Hunter Earns $1 Million Incentive Bonus on Bizarre Play

Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter earned the final incentive bonus in his 2023 contract with one of the most unique sacks of his career during Saturday's game against the Bengals. 

Facing a third-and-1 in Minnesota territory, Bengals coach Zac Taylor dialed up a trick play, a jet sweep that put tight end Tanner Hudson in position to pass the ball. 

Hunter closed in on Hudson and dragged him down for the sack. In a bizarre turn of events, the Vikings defender triggered his incentive by sacking a nonquarterback, as noted by Ben Goessling of The Star Tribune.
