Broncos' Dre Greenlaw hit with suspension after chasing and threatening referee after miracle win over Giants

Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been hit with a suspension for his unsportsmanlike behavior following Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

The Broncos pulled of a spectacular 33-32 comeback victory over the Giants after being shutout heading into the final quarter. 

Wil Lutz's 39-yard field goal sealed the miraculous win in the dying seconds of the thrilling Week 7 clash as Bo Nix and co scored 33 points in the fourth quarter alone. 

Yet just moments after Lutz's kick sailed through the uprights, Greenlaw chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field, according to a statement shared by the NFL on Monday. 

'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,' the league said in a press release. 

Greenlaw has now been a handed a one game suspension without pay. The ban will see him miss the Broncos' clash against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend. 

He will be eligible to return to Denver's roster on October 27 following the Week 8 matchup. Greenlaw will appeal the suspension, according to Ian Rapoport. 

As the Broncos players stormed the field sparking wild celebrations, Allen could be seen removing himself from the fanfare and attempting to make a hasty exit to the sidelines. 

However, Greenlaw was hot on his heels and was captured running after the official and screaming at him.
