Joe Mixon has pocketed $100,000 in bonuses after scoring twice in the Cincinnati’s Bengals’ season finale victory (31-14) against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
The 27-year-old running back had already hit a $250,000 incentive by recording 10 touchdowns on the season. His 11th and 12th touchdowns on Sunday increased his incentives by an extra $100,000, giving the one-time Pro Bowler back a nice reward in an otherwise dead rubber.
Mixon, who’s concluding his seventh season on the Bengals, made sure to claim his money by halftime, as he caught a red zone pass from Jake Brown in the first quarter and ran it in for his second score of the game and his 12th touchdown of the year.

He celebrated his achievement by pretending to make it rain money in the end zone.
In total, Mixon triggered a $350,000 season incentive.

Mixon took a roughly $4million pay cut last summer and is under contract on the Bengals through the 2024 season.
Cincinnati took a 24–0 lead into halftime against Cleveland, with Mixon’s two scores accounting for three of the team’s touchdowns by then.
