Bills fans will just have to get through four quarters of pointless football before the playoffs begin. No matter the outcome, Buffalo is set to host a playoff game as the second seed. They will either host the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, or Cincinnati Bengals. Depending on what happens in their respective games, the Bills will find out soon enough who they will take on in the first round.
Fans can expect the Bills to play a majority of their backups, as they should be focused on keeping players healthy for the postseason. However, there are a couple of starters that could miss out on incentives if the backups take the field for the game early on. Anything is possible though. We took a look at Spotrac, per Michael Ginnitti to see which Bills can earn incentives this Sunday.
What 4 Bills are up for grabs at earning incentives in Week 18?
OLB Von Miller
Already having five sacks this season, Miller has earned $2.5 million in incentives. If he manages to get another sack against the Patriots, Miller can collect another $1.5 million.
CB Taron Johnson
One of the most underrated and underappreciated players in the league, Taron Johnson does nothing but perform to the highest of his ability. If he managed to reel in an interception this Sunday, he will collect a $250,000 bonus.
TE Dawson Knox
Despite playing in more games than Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox still hasn’t produced as well as Kincaid. He has 20 less receptions as well 137 less receiving yards. Knox is currently sitting at 311 yards off of 22 receptions for the season. If he can somehow catch 8 passes for 89 yards, he will earn a bonus of $200,000.
The chance of Knox reaching that statline is very slim seeing as how he hasn’t caught more than four catches and 56 yards in a game this year.
DL DaQuan Jones
Having already recorded 2.5 sacks this season, DaQuan Jones could be on his way to earning more money this Sunday. All that he has to do is record half a sack to get a $250,000 bonus.
With all four of these players playing in some starter capacity, they may have a limited window to earn more money, if they even have any time.
