Buffalo Bills star earns $1.5 million from one play

Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller is $1.5 million richer after sacking New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye on Sunday.

Miller entered the game with 5.0 sacks, needing just one more sack to trigger the bonus clause in his contract. The veteran LB wasted little time reaching the milestone, registering the seven-figure tackle inside the first minute of the Week 18 showdown.

Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowler and the Super Bowl 50 MVP, may not be done yet as he could increase his bonus to a cool $3.5 million if he's able to record two more sacks against the Patriots.

The 35-year-old is one of several NFL players looking to pad their bank accounts on the final day of the regular season. However, only Tampa Bay Buccanneers WR Mike Evans ($3 million) and Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith ($6 million) could earn more in bonus incentives during Sunday's action than Miller already has.
