u/alex • 2w

Von Miller's sack earns him a bonus, while other Buffalo Bills players reach individual milestones.

Why it matters: Achieving incentives and personal goals adds extra motivation and excitement to NFL games, even when playoff implications are minimal.

What's new: Von Miller's sack on rookie quarterback Drake Maye not only brought the Bills' defense early success but also earned Miller a $1.5 million bonus for reaching six sacks this season.

By the numbers: Miller had previously received a $1 million bonus for achieving two sacks earlier in the season, making his total bonus earnings $2.5 million.

The sack occurred during the first series of the Week 18 matchup between the Patriots and Bills.
Sam Martin, the Bills' punter, secured a $100,000 bonus for his 25th punt of the season inside the 20-yard line.
Mack Hollins, the Bills' wide receiver, received a $50,000 bonus for reaching his 30th reception.
James Cook, the Bills' running back, surpassed 1,000 rushing yards and tied O.J. Simpson for the most rushing touchdowns in a single season in Bills history with 16.

Yes, but: Despite the individual achievements, the Bills' focus remains on the upcoming weeks and their playoff aspirations.

Sean McDermott, the head coach of the Bills, acknowledged the significance of reaching incentives but emphasized the team's primary goals for the postseason.
Von Miller himself expressed gratitude for the sack and bonus but highlighted the team's larger objectives.

What to watch: The camaraderie within the Bills' locker room is evident as players support each other in reaching their respective goals.

Sam Martin mentioned how the team roots for one another, highlighting the positive atmosphere within the organization.

The bottom line: While individual accomplishments are celebrated, the Bills' collective mission is to succeed in the playoffs and ultimately contend for a Super Bowl title.
