This is just the most brutal thing ever.
It appeared Monday night that a DraftKings player had won $1,000,000 in a contest with a Monday Night Football lineup with Jared Goff, Cooper Kupp, Gerald Everett, Josh Reynolds and both the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears defenses.
After the final whistle, the user — Robocles — ranked No. 1, good for a million bucks.
But then the worst happened. A sack previously credited to the Bears was taken away and Goff was credited with four fewer rushing yards. The win turned into a sixth-place finish for $3,078.94, which isn’t terrible. But it isn’t $1 million.
Sometimes one play makes all the difference in the world…@DraftKings player robocles lost out on the $1 million prize after a post-game stat correction took a sack away from the Bears defense 🤮

One Twitter user seems to have found the play that was initially a sack and then wasn’t:
I believe this to be the non-sack that cost a dude $997k as a stat correction. What say you? pic.twitter.com/4NreJRY9k7
