Colts’ Tyquan Lewis is one sack away from a $150K bonus

The stakes are extremely high for the Indianapolis Colts when they host the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday night, and there will be plenty of motivation for both sides.

For defensive end Tyquan Lewis, though, there is a bit more motivation for him to make an impact with a sack in the regular-season finale.

According to Action Network, Lewis will receive a $150,000 bonus if he notches a sack against the Texans. This would give him 5.0 sacks on the season.

While Lewis may not be a household name or even a starter on the Colts defensive line, what he’s done for Indy’s defense should not be overlooked. The sheer ability to bounce back from consecutive torn patellar injuries (nearly on the same day) over the last two seasons is incredible in itself.

Despite playing just 36.9% of the defensive snaps this season, Lewis ranked third on the team with 40 total pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. He’s also fourth on the team in tackles for loss (nine) and quarterback hits (12).

The edge rotation the Colts have featured this season has produced strong numbers, and Lewis is a big reason for that. He can earn a nice bonus with another strong game on Saturday night.
