Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson isn't fighting to get his team into the 2011 NFL playoffs, but simply fighting to keep $300,000.It's being reported that Johnson risk losing $300K if he doesn't reach a 1,000 yards when he face off against the Houston Texans Sunday. KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS THE SAME PLAYER WHO REACHED 2,000 YARDS LAST YEAR. The Titans can reach the NFL playoffs, with a little help. With a win against the Houston Texans, along with Cincinnati lose to Baltimore, the Titans can slide into the 6th seed, wild card, spot. In the game against the Texans, on Sunday, Johnson would need 14 yards to reach the 1,000 yard mark for the season, WHICH MOST LIKELY HE'LL REACH. When Johnson got his four-year extension back in April, there was a clause written into the contract which stated that his 2012 salary would decrease from $8 million to $7.7 million, a $300,000 decrease, if he failed to reach 1,000 yards in the 2011 season.
