20 Oct
Summary
- Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw suspended for 1 game
- Incident occurred after Broncos' 33-32 win over New York Giants
- Greenlaw chased and threatened referee Brad Allen as he left the field
On 2025-10-21, the NFL announced that Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been suspended for one game due to unsportsmanlike conduct. The incident occurred this past Sunday, October 19th, following the Broncos' 33-32 victory over the New York Giants.
According to the league, Greenlaw chased after referee Brad Allen and threatened him as Allen was trying to leave the field after the game. The AFC West-leading Broncos, currently 5-2, will now have to host the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday without their star linebacker.
The suspension comes as a blow to the Broncos, who are looking to maintain their division lead. Greenlaw, a key part of their defense, will miss the crucial matchup against the Cowboys. The team has three days to appeal the NFL's decision, but it remains to be seen if they will be successful in overturning the punishment.
