A stat correction from Sunday's New York Giants victory over the Washington Redskins allowed Markus Golden to earn a $1 million bonus.

Golden was informed that a half sack of Dwayne Haskins early in the third quarter was being changed to a full sack. Golden raced around the left edge on the play and brought down Haskins, whose ankle was being held by linebacker Lorenzo Carter. The Giants teammates originally shared the sack.

It gave him 10 this season and triggered the lucrative incentive.

"It's always a goal to get double-digit sacks," Golden said. "If you're rushing the passer, you want to get there. It's a status thing -- 9.5 is a big difference than 10. It feels good to get it down, get it over with and, like I said, be able to put it out for my kids to be able to keep playing, keep fighting."
