But KC still has three games to play and with Gardner Minshew at quarterback, they’ll try to find reasons to play hard.
One of them will go into wide receiver Hollywood Brown’s checkbook territory. He could receive multiple contract bonuses.
If Brown reaches 500 yards receiving this season, he will earn $500,000. He enters this weekend’s game against the Titans with 494 points.

He will also receive $500,000 if he scores six touchdowns this season, and he has already scored five.

Even if it’s just at least 6 yards and 1 score, he’ll have an extra $1 million in his bank account.

Hollywood hopes he and Mingshew can come to an understanding.
Brown entered the weekend with 42 receptions for 494 yards and five touchdowns.
