A place in history, a blinged-up ring and a shiny trophy aren't the only spoils that Super Bowl champions earn for winning America's biggest sporting event.
There are those bonus checks: According to the NFL office and the league's post-season media guide, each participating member of the victorious team—the Seattle Seahawks—receives $92,000.

And while the Denver Broncos may have been devastated by their 43-8 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday, the $46,000 check that each Bronco picks up should help ease the pain at least a bit.
The bonus is paid by the league itself, according to the NFL.
The Seahawks' Super Bowl roster listed 63 players, translating to a total championship bonus payout of about $5.8 million. The Broncos' roster listed 64 players, adding up to approximately $2.9 million in runner-up bonuses.

Including what came with the Super Bowl blowout, each Seahawk took in about $157,000 in the post-season, including $23,000 each for their divisional playoff win over the Saints, and $42,000 each for their conference championship triumph over the 49ers.
That translates into a total post-season NFL payout of about $9.9 million to Seahawks players.
