Courtland Sutton was one of the big winners in Week 18.
Sutton’s Denver Broncos came out scorching hot against the Kansas City Chiefs in their game at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colo., on Sunday. Facing a Chiefs team that had already secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC and was resting players, the Broncos scored on all four of their possessions in the first half, including three straight touchdowns.
On their second possession, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix found Sutton for a 47-yard gain. The two later teamed up for a 10-yard touchdown to cap the drive. Then just before halftime, Nix completed a 32-yard pass to Sutton. That completion gave Sutton 94 yards in the game and helped him achieve a big incentive.
According to the terms of his contract, Sutton received $500,000 each for surpassing the 500, 750 and 1,065-yard marks for the season. His 98-yard game in Week 18 gave him 1,081 yards for the season and helped him earn an extra $500,000.
Here is the big play that gave Sutton nearly half of his yards in the game:
