While I agree with you posting that in relation to Rush, it is not the same comparison because that wasn't necessarily (just) about the bonus. Those 9 yards by Evans gave him his 11th straight 1,000 yard season, tying Jerry Rice for the all-time record (probably just as important, if not more so for Evans). He also became the first receiver in NFL history to have 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first 11 years (though he was the first to have done it 10 anyway). Pretty sure that is what his teammates were celebrating.
Honestly, it is kind of funny that the post centered on the bonus over the all-time record (IMHO).
That being said, it was a completely bush move by Jerry either way.
