Keenan Allen celebrated his bonus on Sunday with a boogie.
The Chargers receiver needed just six catches for at least nine yards during Los Angeles’ 19-3 loss against the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver in order to reach $1 million in total incentives, and after he secured both marks, he celebrated on the Bolts’ sideline with a dance.
Cameras captured Allen pretending to take money out of a bank, before he threw the imaginary cash in the air over and over again. He smiled big as made the gestures.
The 33-year-old finished the game with seven receptions for 36 yards.
Allen, who played in 54 percent of the Chargers’ snaps Sunday, finished the regular season with 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns.
Two more scores would have netted him $250,000 more in incentives, although Allen didn’t seem too broken up to settle for just the $1 million — $250,000 for reaching 80 receptions and $750,000 for eclipsing 750 yards.
Earlier in the week, Allen joked about all the money that was on the line with Trey Lance — who started the game against Denver in Justin Herbert’s stead.
Allen told the backup signal-caller he’d take them out to dinner if he scored the big bonus, according to ESPN. Lance hilariously retorted he’d rather have a new car.
It’s unclear if Allen’s done anything nice for his quarterback just yet.
Allen and the Chargers take the field next in a road playoff game against the Patriots on Sunday.
