I think he's referring to the actual pay. No NFL player gets a "salary" for any games past the regular season. Playoff games are covered by bonuses (all equal) and will be higher/lower depending on if you win or lose.

SO when he says you don't get paid to win the super bowl or playoff games, he's right. You don't. You sign those contracts based on the 16 games during the season. Everything else is gravy.
