Hold your breath, Broncos fans! Dre Greenlaw, the fiery linebacker of the Denver Broncos, is set for a one-game NFL suspension. Why? He verbally threatened referee Brad Allen after Denver's nail-biting 33-32 home win over the New York Giants this Sunday. The league confirmed this spicy news on Monday. This sizzling incident happened right after Denver's thrilling victory that boosted their record to 5-2, claiming the top spot in the tough AFC West division. According to the NFL's statement, Greenlaw "chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field." Don’t worry just yet! Greenlaw can appeal the ban thanks to the league’s collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association. But for now, Denver’s fiery linebacker will miss the upcoming home clash against the Dallas Cowboys. He can rejoin the team’s active roster next Monday. This Sunday’s game was special for Greenlaw—it was his comeback! After sitting out six games due to a thigh injury, he jumped back into action and packed a punch with six tackles. The 28-year-old star recently signed a handsome three-year, $31.5 million deal with the Broncos this March after six strong seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. Remember, Greenlaw missed most of the 2024 season because of a torn left Achilles tendon injury he suffered during the dramatic Super Bowl 58 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now he’s back and back in the headlines—but not just for football! Will this suspension fire up Greenlaw even more? Broncos fans will surely be watching closely as their team aims to conquer the AFC West with or without their dynamo linebacker.
