Broncos’ star hit with news he didn’t want to hear by the NFL just hours after comeback win against the Giants
The National Football League is coming down hard on Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw. It couldn’t have come at a worse time for Greenlaw, who just started his first game with the Broncos after dealing with a calf injury. After appearing in just one game, there’s a chance he could be sidelined for the matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Greenlaw has been suspended without pay for one game for unsportsmanlike conduct after the win against the Giants. Ian Rapoport shared the update on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The NFL released a statement shortly after the news broke, discussing in detail what happened with Greenlaw that resulted in such a harsh penalty.
“Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been suspended without pay for one game for unsportsmanlike conduct following Sunday’s game against the New York Giants,” the NFL wrote. “The NFL issued the suspension for a violation of Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(b), which prohibits ‘the use of abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures to opponents, teammates, officials, or representatives of the League.’ After the conclusion of the Giants-Broncos game, Greenlaw chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field.
“Greenlaw will be eligible to return to the Broncos’ active roster on Monday, Oct. 27, following the team’s Oct. 26 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Greenlaw has three days to appeal the suspension.”
Rapoport also shared that Greenlaw plans to appeal the suspension. As the official statement read, Greenlaw has three days to appeal and wasted no time in doing so.
Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw caught on camera berating official after game-winner vs. Giants
Alex Wilcox, sports reporter for CBS News Colorado, captured kicker Will Lutz’s game-winning field goal. The camera kept rolling as Wilcox panned over to Greenlaw, who could be seen berating the referee with some colorful words while chasing him down the field.
Some slowed-down video shows that the referee bumped into linebacker Justin Strnad first, which could’ve resulted in the outburst from Greenlaw. Nevertheless, the NFL doesn’t take too kindly to the actions that followed.
The NFL made it clear it won’t tolerate any kind of confrontation with officials. Greenlaw’s potential absence against Dallas will sting, especially for a defense that just got him back.
Micah Parsons of Green Bay Packers: A Quiet Gesture that Speaks Volumes – Why His Act of Kindness on a Flight is Shaping His Legacy
Green Bay, WI — October 11, 2025 — In a world obsessed with stats, championships, and headlines, it’s rare to find a moment that transcends the game itself. But that’s exactly what
Parsons, who has quickly become one of the most dominant and respected linebackers in the NFL, was caught in a viral moment this week that has left fans and fellow athletes alike in awe. The incident occurred not on the football field, but rather aboard a commercial flight from Green Bay, where Parsons made a seemingly small but profoundly meaningful gesture that reminded everyone of what true leadership and character really look like.
A Quiet Act of Respect
According to multiple witnesses, just moments before takeoff, Parsons — dressed casually in a hoodie and baseball cap — was seated in first class when an elderly man in a U.S. veteran cap was escorted down the aisle. Without hesitation, Parsons stood up, offered his seat, and urged the veteran to take it. The veteran initially refused, but Parsons insisted with a smile and quietly moved to an economy seat without making a scene.
However, what came next made this moment even more special. After relocating to his new seat, Parsons didn’t seek attention or bask in any praise. Instead, he spent the next few minutes helping fellow passengers with their luggage, offering assistance to families, and even helping a mother calm her crying baby. According to flight attendants, Parsons “was just helping — quietly, gently, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.”
This modest act, captured by no cameras and recorded by no media outlets, was a reflection of Parsons’ personality both on and off the field — humble, genuine, and compassionate. “He wasn’t drawing attention to himself,” one witness noted. “He was just being a good person.”
A Ripple of Kindness: The Flight Cabin Responds
As Parsons continued his quiet service, passengers began to take notice. Within minutes, murmurs spread across the cabin, and then, a spontaneous show of admiration erupted. Fellow passengers started chanting his name: “Parsons! Parsons!” The reaction was overwhelming — applause, cheers, and even tears filled the plane as everyone realized the full extent of Parsons’ kindness.
What made this moment even more impactful was the deep connection it forged with those onboard. One passenger shared a poignant reflection, writing on social media, “No cameras. No PR stunt. Just pure class.”
This simple truth set social media ablaze, with fans across the world praising Parsons for showing the kind of leadership that cannot be measured in sacks or tackles for loss.
