Later came another reward: a five-year contract extension worth $22 million with $10 million in guarantees, according to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter.

Sanders also had the big game-winning 44-yard kick in the remarkable 26-25 come-from-behind victory against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in Week 16.
