Bills WR Khalil Shakir could hit $450,000 pay day vs. Eagles image

The Buffalo Bills have clinched a playoff berth for the seventh consecutive year, giving them the longest such streak in the NFL. However, they are still in pursuit of their sixth straight AFC East championship, sitting one game behind the New England Patriots, who are 12-3 after defeating the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night.

The Bills face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, giving them a tough late-season matchup ahead of the postseason. And while they will be looking to win more than anything, wide receiver Khalil Shakir has some extra motivation to get into the end zone.

Per Spotrac, the Bills' wideout will trigger a $150,000 incentive in his contract if he scores a touchdown against the Eagles. Shakir currently has four touchdowns on the year, and his fifth will earn him a nice bonus. If he scores two touchdowns, that will get him to six scores and will trigger a $300,000 bonus, giving him the potential to earn $450,000 in added money against the Eagles, as well as in Week 18 against the New York Jets.

If the Bills win their final two games and the Patriots go 1-1, the Bills will win the division via tiebreaker. The Patriots play the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins in their final two games.
