San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is going to have a lot more money in his bank account after Monday Night Football.

That's because Bourne cashed in on a $500,000 incentive with his first catch in the game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The incentive hits because Bourne has tallied 500 receiving yards this season. He entered the Week 16 contest against the Colts needing just one yard to get there.

Bourne actually hit it earlier in the game, but his catch was negated because of a penalty. Thankfully, the veteran cashed in later.

It was a tough road to get here for Bourne.

He was a huge part of the offense for the Niners for a few weeks while the team was dealing with multiple injuries to its pass-catchers.

But Bourne has been an afterthought in the offense as San Francisco has gotten healthier, which made the road to 500 yards a lot harder.
