Giants LB Markus Golden earns $1 million bonus after stat change

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A stat correction from Sunday's New York Giants victory over the Washington Redskins allowed Markus Golden to earn a $1 million incentive.

Golden received the early Christmas gift Tuesday when he was informed that a half sack of Dwayne Haskins early in the third quarter this past week was being changed to a full sack. Golden raced around the left edge on the play and had Haskins by the ankle. He was eventually met by fellow outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter, and they originally shared the sack.
