The NFL on Monday suspended Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw for unsportsmanlike conduct toward an official during the team’s 33-32 win over the New York Giants.
Greenlaw chased referee Brad Allen and threatened him as he tried to leave the field after Will Lutz’s game-winning field goal, the NFL said.

Greenlaw has three days to appeal the decision.
The veteran linebacker played in his first game since signing with the Broncos in the offseason. He played in just two games in 2024 as he recovered from a torn Achilles injury suffered during the San Francisco 49ers’ Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Greenlaw, 28, has played in 65 career games over seven years in the NFL. He has 461 total tackles and 3.5 sacks on his resume.
