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 was playing his first game since signing with the Broncos during the offseason. He played only two games in 2024 while recovering from an Achilles injury he 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.

The Broncos are 5-2 with the win against the Giants. Denver hosts the Dallas Cowboys at Empower Field at Mile High in Week 8.
