Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz had another reason to celebrate his two-yard touchdown pass beyond the fact it sealed a 30-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons for his team.

The overtime score put Ertz at six touchdown receptions, which triggered a $250,000 bonus in his one-year contract with Washington, per Spotrac.

His overall output (six catches for 72 yards and two TDs) activated two other bonuses. He's getting another $500,000 combined because he has eclipsed 60 receptions (61) and 600 receiving yards (610).
